Can a hundred people defeat a gorilla? Almost certainly they can.
Not in a straight-out boxing competition or anything like that. Rather, what they would be able to do is outwit the gorilla and defeat it by that.
You can take the hundred men and they can use strategies they might have seen in nature, such as the way in which a meerkat or mongoose can hunt a snake, where one jumps forward, has the snake try and strike at it, then the next one, then the next one, then the next one, so they tire it out.
Human beings have extreme endurance compared with most other animals.
They would very likely be able to outlast the gorilla.
Working as a team, a lot less than a hundred would be needed.
Human beings, in fact, have hunted gorillas in the past.
We have used our intelligence and our tools to do so.
They would hunt and kill the adult males and sometimes the adult females.
They would then take the young gorillas, and they would do that by pinning them down—either by holding their arms or restraining the head and neck and so forth.
Essentially, they were able to pin them down with enough people and then transport them to zoos or the like.
With an actual adult gorilla, which could probably press about 600 pounds or something like that, if it's a big enough one, it might take more people to pin it down.
However, if you exhaust a gorilla and then pin it down, you can defeat it.
I believe that a lot less than a hundred people could defeat one.
