A 700lb or 900lb gorilla would be equally entitled to sleep wherever he wants to. Interestingly, the Wikipedia entry for Gorilla states that the average male gorilla weighs about 400lb, occasionally reaching 500lb in the wild. Only obese gorillas in captivity have attained weights of 600lb. So the number doesn't even seem to be related to gorilla biology (except that it is safely larger than any known gorilla, save King Kong).
The average elephant weighs about 3000 kg (6600 lbs), but this ismisleading, because there is considerable difference between thetwo species and between males and females in eâ¦ach species. African Elephants , the largest species ofElephants, weigh between 12,000-15,000 pounds -males and femalesweigh between 7,900-10,000 pounds. The AsianElephants , which are smaller than the African Elephant,weigh on average: 11,000 pounds for the males, and the femalesweigh an average of 6,600 pounds.
