Maybe it just had a huge mouth and it was like 1 foot tall lol
"what does a 500-kg primate eat?" anything it wants...
It ate really huge bananas.duh.
Could Gigantopithecus take on a tiger?
Gigantopithecus: I “SHER-KHAN”!
So.. "Planting C4", and "C4 Plants" are two completely different things..
Learned something new today.
I think you made up a giant ape to hide the fact that those were actually dragon teeth. Why else would Chinese kung fu masters grind the teeth into magic power powder potions.
It went extinct because it was eating C4, obviously.
It was elected president of these United States "And believe me folks, it was the greatest ape, so great."
Q. What does a 500 kg primate eat? ... A. Anything it wants to.
So if some survived, they could be what we call Yeti, and/or Bigfoot. Maybe instead of looking for footprints, we should look for teeth.
What does a 500kg primate eat?
What ever the hell it wants to.
But mostly I see them at the IHOP or Walmart in the cookie section. They seem to always break the auto carts.
it makes me angry how many fossils were probably lost to chinese medicine.
I just learned about them and I already miss them.
You know, when I went to the zoo, I noticed that gibbons, who are similar orangutans in lifestyle and physique, walk around on their hindquarters with their arms raised over their heads, which I found hilarious. Now the image of a giant orangutan with its arms dangling over its head is just terrifying.
Oh, how magnificus it would be...
What happened to the world’s greatest ape?
Nothing, Humans are still alive.
I love the silly idea that Bigfoot is actually Gigantopithecus.
Big foot has now been confirmed.
Giga ape = bigfoot : IT LIVESSS
I wish if they could clone it back
