Best Answer

Silverback gorillas are about 20 times stronger than humans. Although the precise strength of a silverback has never been recorded, this number is based off the size and amount of muscle tissue the gorilla has.

Silverbacks are the adult males, so named for the gray hair that grows on the back. Yes, they are strongest in the family.Meaning they are their strongest when they'er that age.So it's like saying is an adult is stronger than a lumberjack.all male gorillas mountain,a shagyer and and rarer gorilla that lives in dencemountain forests. Lowland the type of gorilla that you see ina zoo is short fured and live in lower less dence forests.I do not know the size difrens between them but I think mountain gorillas are biger.
