Best Dairy-Free Shortening Shortening is an even fattier form of butter. Where butter is made with about 85 percent fat and 15 percent water, shortening is 100 percent fat.
We are all fascinated by feats of strength and the mystical 1000lb bench/squat/deadlift. How much do you think a full grown male silverback gorilla could lift on these three? Just from some research I've learned that gorillas have the strength of anywhere from 13-27 average men. So I figure the average man can bench perhaps.....120lbs. This puts the gorilla's theoretical bench press at 2000-4000 lbs.
The fabled 'Rutledge' weighed 365 kg (807 lbs). 'Simba', the largest lion in captivity recorded in history, weighed 375 kg (826 lbs). Weights for adult African lions range between 150-250 kg for males and 120-182 kg for females. Females are much smaller than males both in size and weight. Their Asian counterpart - the Asian Lion is smaller in size and weight when compared to the African lion. Typical males weigh between 380-450 pounds.
