Wolves are also a lot more common, though.

Wolf attacks on humans are rare but common enough to have their own Wikipedia page, but there’s no record of wild gorillas killing anyone.
Which means they’re either super chill, or really fucking sneaky about it.

Thanks Obama.

Or they happen in Africa so we don’t usually hear about them.

I like big apes.

IIRC gorillas are indeed pretty chill if you respect their territorial instincts, as opposed to, say, a chimp that might try to kill you more or less on a whim

i find it funny how the animals more related to humans are the more ruthlessly violent ones. apparently bonobos are much more violent than chimps, and orangutans are less violent than gorillas
