They can reach speeds of 25mph (40kph) when running, and that's not even what they're built for. Their arms are designed to swing them through the trees, and they have a much higher proportion of fast-twitch muscle fibers, which seems to be what gives chimpanzees their extraordinary strength.

Can a human outrun a chimp?
Chimps usually match humans in top sprinting speeds, and can exceed our top speeds for a short amount of time. Our endurance is far superior, but at a sprint, it's unlikely you will outrun a chimp at a level until which you can escape as your ability for endurance would not be a factor before the chimp overtook you.
Can a human beat a chimp in a fight?
A new survey has found that 22 per cent of men could defeat a chimp in combat, with a similar number backing themselves to come out on top while wrestling lethal king cobras. Experts say males would stand little chance against chimpanzees, which are four times stronger than humans because of their denser muscle fibre.
Is a chimpanzee faster than a human?
Writing in PNAS journal, Dr Matthew C O'Neill, from the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix, and colleagues reviewed the literature on chimp muscle performance and found that, on average, they are 1.5 times more powerful than humans in pulling and jumping tasks.
Why do chimps eat their own poop?
Chimpanzees don't regularly eat their poop, but like rabbits, the most likely reason is some of the seeds they eat "are only partly digested, and they eat them again to harvest those nutrients, said Hunt, who has studied coprophagy in chimpanzees.
Which animal has the highest stamina?
1. Ostrich. The world's biggest bird is also the best marathon runner on the planet. While the official world record marathon time for a human is just below 2 hours, 3 minutes, an ostrich could run a marathon in an estimated 45 minutes, according to Popular Mechanics.
Are chimps violent?
Chimpanzees typically direct their aggressive and sometimes predatory behavior toward children because the animals are more fearful of larger human adults, especially men, according to National Geographic. Chimps have also snatched and killed human babies.
Are gorillas stronger than chimps?
Gorillas are enormously more powerful, but they are gentle and peaceful and use their great strength and agility only if threatened. A gorilla is far stronger than a chimpanzee, so if there's no way out of an attack, a gorilla would kill you immediately whereas a chimpanzee would mangle you first.
Do gorillas and chimps fight?
Chimpanzees and gorillas are not known for violence towards each other, and the two hominid species live peacefully together in certain areas – so it's surprising and saddening that researchers have witnessed lethal fights between them for the first time.
Can a chimp rip your arms off?
A chimp could certainly cause serious injuries to a human's arms but it is unlikely that it would actually tear off an arm or leg unless it was using it's teeth.
Are gorillas aggressive?
Like humans or other wild animals, gorillas do get aggressive. However, they do so only when they feel threatened or when a silverback from another group attempts to steal one of the females. Gorillas will first attempt to warn off an intruder by making loud grunts and tearing down vegetation.
How fast can a gorilla run?
A gorilla can reach speeds of 20 mph to 25 mph. In comparison, Usain Bolt's record in the 100-meter dash roughly translates into 23 mph (Bolt reaches peak speeds of around 27 mph—but still).
Can a human fight a gorilla?
For many humans to beat a mountain gorilla, that would need your strength combined into one person which is even impossible. Mountain gorillas have been killed by humans using weapons but there's no single record of any human ever killing a mountain gorilla using bear hands.
