Animals stronger than gorillas include massive land mammals like elephants, hippos, rhinos, and bears (grizzly/polar), large predators like tigers and lions, and powerful reptiles such as crocodiles, all of which surpass gorillas in sheer size, weapons (teeth, horns, claws), or fighting instinct, though tiny dung beetles possess the strongest strength-to-weight ratio. While a gorilla is immensely strong (lifting 10x its weight), these animals possess advantages in mass, killing adaptations, or predatory experience.

Scientists collected 29 coconut crabs and then had them clamp down on a bite-force measuring device. The largest crab in the bunch weighed 4.67 pounds and squeezed with the force of 1,765 Newtons. By comparison, a 143-pound human with proportional strength of this coconut crab could grip with a force of 6 tons.
With the men prevented from rushing the gorilla all at once, as in Magill's calculations, they face long odds, Hobaiter believes: “Honestly, 100 guys wouldn't stand a chance,” she says. “They're going to be swatting at him like out-of-breath children, and a single one of his punches would floor them.
