      What do you mean humans lack the specialized digestive system that allows these animals to subsist healthily on an herbivorous diet?

        Do gorillas eat all day and is their digestive tract so dissimilar from a human’s? Also, I have personally subsisted healthily on an herbivorous diet for almost 25 years now.

          They do actually. They eat about 50lbs a day, and their gut biome is specifically adapted to better break down greens to get their protein.

    What if gorillas were given body builder supplements and fitness instructions, though? Imagine a gorilla with a fitness routine going at it for a few years. We’ve never seen a gorilla at full strength…

    Imagine the average man => Arnold Schwartzenegger in his prime.
    Now imagine the average gorilla => ???

    Two pandas then, please.
