A chimpanzee is already hard to control. I cannot imagine having a gorilla around.

An angry chimpanzee can completely disfigure you in an instant. A gorilla is even more powerful than that.

People underestimate how strong apes are.

Two very different apes, however. Chimpanzees hunt and kill monkeys. Gorillas are mostly vegetarian.

Interesting fact, thank you. I wasn't familiar with this.

Watch some nature documentaries, wild researchers can often go and sit in close proximity with the gorillas, if humans are calm so are them. You wouldn't dare to do this with chimpanzees.

Yeah... chimpanzees can be very violent.
