You’re right—men vs. gorilla is NOT a fair fight. Gorillas are absolutely unmatched in strength, speed, and power. But here’s the real kicker: the fight isn’t in the jungle, it’s in their survival—and humans aren’t giving them a fair fight. Habitat destruction, especially from mining coltan (a mineral used in phones, tablets, and other electronics), is wiping out gorilla homes at an alarming rate. That’s why the College of Health Sciences has teamed up with the Memphis Zoo to support the Gorillas on the Line initiative. For the next two weeks, we’re collecting used electronics to recycle—because recycling reduces the demand for new coltan and helps protect gorilla habitats. You can drop your old phones, tablets, and other small electronics inside the Dean’s Suite in the Fieldhouse. Every donation makes a real difference. #manvsgorilla #gorillas #mining
