Could a gorilla tear man in half?

While gorillas are powerful animals with enormous strength, the likelihood of them tearing a human in half is extremely low. Although gorillas have strong torsos and upper body muscles, their strength isn't exclusively focused on pulling and tearing like that.

To tear a human in half, a force on the order of several thousand pounds would be required, far exceeding what a gorilla is capable of generating with its muscles alone. Gorillas primarily use their strength for climbing, holding up their massive bodies, and gathering food, rather than attacking or tearing apart other animals.
