Reply to comment by popesandusky in Do you think you could beat a chimpanzee? by Hour_Spend1678

Have you ever heard of a human beating a chimp in a straight fight? Yet there are many news articles about chimps maiming and killing humans. They will bite your face off, twist off your feet, hands, and privates and seriously mess you up. They fight to survive in the wild and among their own kind regularly. Chimps are not to be messed with without the advantage of numbers or weapons or they are sedated. Ask a zoo keeper about them.

No, but ive also never heard about sane people biting the face off crackheads. That doesnt mean crackheads possess some superhuman fighting ability, or that normal people couldnt bite the face off crackheads.

Are the lack of stories of humans killing chimps in unarmed combat because they couldn’t, or because thats just not something normal humans do?

Recall hearing a zookeeper on a podcast a while back mention he was once attacked by an adolescent chimp and he “beat it” enough for it to stop trying to attack him. But #1 who knows if thats true and #2 even if so it was claimed to be an adolescent

Never having faced a chimp myself I can only related what I have read about, and I have read enough to convince me that I would not attempt to fight a chimp and would discourage anyone attempting to do so. If you decide to go for it let us know how it turns out for you.
