1. A gorilla can run at 25 mph (11,176 m / s). The heaviest gorilla ever found has 267 kg.
KE = 0,5 x mv┬▓
KE = 0,5 x 267 kg x (11,176 m/s)┬▓
KE = 0,5 x 267 x 124,902976 KE = 16.674,547296 J (16 kilojoules)
This is Wall Level.
A gorilla was able to break the protection glass from his cage at a zoo in Nebraska. I'm not sure the level of resistance of the zoo glasses, but the feat of breaking one of them must be close to the Wall level, right?
2. A gorilla would apparently be able to lift 10 times its own weight. That would be 1.800-1.950 kg considering that the heaviest gorilla is 180-195 kg. Okay, this can be a lot. But I have other arguments.
A gorilla is six times stronger than a man according to this (they were comparing the gorilla with a man in a case of lifting a truck tire, and a man who does this must have some training). Some research indicates that a gorilla would be ten or twenty-seven times stronger than a human. The smallest comparison I found is that the gorilla would be six times stronger than a human, so he is at least that much stronger.
Intermediate lifters are capable of deadlifts 335 lbs (151,953 kg). Advanced lifters are capable of deadlifts 460 lbs (208,652 kg).
151,953 x 6 = 911,718 kg
208,652 x 6 = 1251.912 kg (1,2 tons)
Considering these statements he should lifts at least something around 900 kg, so... Class 5 gorilla?
