Can Gorillas be Tamed?
Can Gorillas be Tamed? : Trying to tame a gorilla is a death trap! You can’t tame what you cannot instill fear into! Mountain gorillas have rare traits compared to other animals or mammals. You cannot scare the mountain gorilla. Once you attempted to scare a gorilla by picking up a stick threatening to whip it, instead of running away, it will run towards you for a battle. The war you waged may turn out to be hazardous and uneasy for you to end.
Mountain gorillas are very shy, humble, and friendly but we should not ignore the fact that these are wild animals and once their instincts kick in, a different story will be told by the witnesses. Even poachers who hunt mountain gorillas often use poison or snares to catch them. You cannot dare stand in front of the mountain gorilla when its violent wild instincts kick in. If this happens unexpectedly, do not attempt to confront the mountain gorilla by standing face to face with it because this can lead to a serious disaster or mortality. A mountain gorilla has one of the strongest bites, more powerful compared to that of a lion. Its strength is equivalent to that of more than 10 able-bodied men.
