RDCWorld dropped a hilarious skit from the gorilla’s POV, the Ravens polled their athletes, and someone even simulated the fight. Meanwhile, Instagram ladies volunteered to round up the men, but TikToker flossbaby bets on the guys since the gorilla’s “severely outnumbered.”  Forbes tapped Tara Stoinski from the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, who says the men might win, though not without casualties—the gorilla’s bigger but tires quick.
