My dad's cousin worked at a zoo for years in Colorado. He had his right shoulder dislocated by an infant chimp once who was just trying to play with him. It grabbed his hand arm and effortlessly yanked it out of socket.

They are terrifyingly strong. A full grown chimp could easily tear you in half.

Absolute truth. They'd probably tear each arm off from a would be assailant and that's for starters. I definitely wouldn't want to clean up that mess or piss one off.

Glad your Dad's cousin was ok. What is just mind blowing to me is that the infant chimp likely recognized him as 'friend' and was just trying to get his attention. But non-human primates are no joke.
