very clever article!!

erm, the anaconda should be far higher.
“They can squeeze something same as their own body weight to death. Their weight can reach 550 pounds.”
.. they can also squeeze something 3x their body weight to death, and their crushing power on your chest would be the equivalent of a double decker bus.

Elephant strongest mammal, umm, I don’t think so, what about the Blue Whale, the babies at birth weigh 12 tons, 24,000 pounds, and as an adult they can weigh as much as 150 tons, 300,000 pounds. That is like 25 elephants. As the norm internet info is wrong.

humans are actually proportionally stronger than elephants and grizzly bears. Elephants can only lift half their body weight and grizzly bears 0.8 times their body weight but humans,on average, can lift their body

Gorilla > Bear

The Gorilla will probably get very seriously injured, but the Grizzly will get dismembered by the immensely strong arms of the gorilla and after that bitten to death, even if it’s only half the size of the bear. Hope they don’t meet, it would be a waste of those beautiful animals.
