Give human level intelligence to gorillas, this is worse then just human level chimpanzees in the fact gorilla's are beefy and could rip the average human in to pieces. With human level intelligence they would be a force to me reckoned with
Rewatching the newer Apes movies makes me scared shitless whenever I see a gorilla on screen. They're big, loud, strong as hell, and smart as a person. Especially the scene in Dawn when the guy goes back to the settlement to try to negotiate and you just see that gorilla come out of nowhere and just scream at the guy.
And then I laugh whenever I see one riding a horse and think "that poor horse."
