Could a fully grown chimpanzee or gorilla rape a human female?

My first thought was no; rape needs communication and threats, because you can’t thread a moving, unwilling needle.

Just in case there’s any lingering confusion on this particular point, rape doesn’t require any communication or threats. A vagina isn’t the eye of a needle and an erect penis isn’t thread. No coercion is needed–brute force works.
