100 Men vs. 1 Gorilla: Who Wins if It’s King Kong?
==================================================
The viral question of whether 100 men could win in a fight against one gorilla gets more complicated when the singular primate is super-sized. I got some experts to weigh in.

I love hypothetical questions. I would rather fight 100 duck-sized horses than one horse-sized duck. But I’m still scratching my head over a viral question that’s romping around social media: Who would win if you pitted 100 average men against one gorilla?
Let’s not stop there, though. We’re going to expand that hypothetical situation. What if the gorilla in question is movie villain-hero King Kong? I talked with an expert to get some perspective.
The original question seemed to take off from a [post on X]( that racked up nearly 300 million views. The tweet suggested the men could handle the gorilla if the humans were dedicated enough to the task.
**Read more:** [Best Live TV Streaming Services of 2025](
Even YouTube personality [MrBeast weighed in]( tweeting, “Need 100 men to test this, any volunteers?” along with an image of a group of men facing off against one very large gorilla.
Elon Musk, DOGE czar and CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX, seemed to volunteer, [responding]( “Sure, what’s the worst that could happen?”

Humans aren’t known for fighting fair.
“A fight between 100 men and one gorilla might lead to a lot of dead men, but we all know that men will come with weapons, strategies, drones, fire and other clever tricks,” [wrote Renaud Joannes-Boyau]( professor in geochronology and geochemistry at Southern Cross University in Australia. He suggested humans might lose many of the battles, but would eventually win the fight.
Joannes-Boyau ultimately takes a philosophical approach to the question.
“Perhaps the real takeaway message isn’t who wins in a fight, but to realize that two very different and yet very close cousins have walked two separate evolutionary roads, each in their own distinct way,” he wrote.
Chill gorillas

The Fort Worth Zoo is home to Ramses, a 52-year-old silverback gorilla.

The 100-men question seems to imply an angry, vengeful gorilla. There wouldn’t be much of a fight if the gorilla just sits there and snacks on leaves.
Gorillas are “typically quite gentle, often only showing aggression when it comes to protecting their family, or when necessary, to keep the peace within the family,” said John Griffioen, assistant director of animal programs and conservation at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas.
Griffioen shared some eye-catching statistics, saying silverback gorillas are capable of lifting over 2,000 pounds and have a bite force with about 1,300 pounds of pressure per square inch.
The thought question is entertaining, but it glosses over a sobering reality. “Gorillas are critically endangered, and populations continue to decline,” said Griffioen. “With so much already stacked against them, we shouldn’t be worried about fighting them, we should be fighting for them.”
Griffioen would rather those 100 hypothetical men put their energy into conservation efforts.
Get your Kong on
—————-
So anyway, that’s real-life gorillas. Now let’s give the big primate an upgrade.
Kong depictions on film have varied since his debut in the now-classic 1933 King Kong movie.
In the 2005 Peter Jackson movie, King Kong was said to be 25 feet tall, so let’s use that as our benchmark. A real male silverback gorilla can typically reach 5 feet in height, so our fictional Kong is at least five times bigger than the real thing. That means we have a super-ape that could handily wipe out multiple men with one swinging fist.
“Evolution didn’t design us to win wrestling matches; it designed us to outthink, not outmuscle.” 
Renaud Joannes-Boyau, professor, Southern Cross University
Joannes-Boyau accepted the challenge of considering the Kong hypothetical, noting the strength gap between human and giant gorilla would be extreme. “Faced with such a large and powerful animal, 100 unarmed humans would be unlikely to stand a chance,” he told CNET.
Human ingenuity — and the ability to strategize, collaborate and use technology — is the X factor. “In a raw power contest against most animals, we would often lose,” Joannes-Boyau said. “But evolution didn’t design us to win wrestling matches; it designed us to outthink, not outmuscle.”
In my unscientific estimation, I’m giving Kong the advantage against 100 men. But don’t take my word for it. Watch some King Kong movies and decide for yourself.
Here are some [top streaming options]( to get you in the mood to debate the 100 men against one gorilla question.
