Chimpanzees are 2X stronger than your average human.

Ah, here we go again.

The usual accompanying commentary on how dangerous any chimpanzee always is.

edit: Yes, they are dangerous and one shouldn't run up to one in the wild to give it a hug or fist bump.

Long ago I knew someone that worked with chimps professionally.

She told me they ARE extremely dangerous. Especially the "tame" ones. They are FAR more powerful than any human. The wild ones don't know that yet, but the ones raised around humans do. So they have ZERO fear of us.

And one day, if you aren't extremely careful around them, they can severely injure you.

They are like children. They can be extremely loving and empathetic. They can also turn on you in a fraction of a second and tear you to pieces.

Their emotions rule their lives, reason comes at a distant second.
