You can really see how strong chimps are if you look at one that doesn’t have any hair. Here’s a Google image search on it: http://www.google.com/images?client=firefox&rls=en&q=hairless%20chimpanzee

Some good examples:

(This is one of the skinnier ones, but it’s interesting because it looks so much like a human.)

I wonder how a chimp would compare in strength to a world-class bodybuilder. Of course, in a fight the chimp as the advantage if its teeth.
