A team of researchers has found evidence that 10 foot apes once lived in China around 250,000 years ago. The species known as Gigantopithecus blacki, lived in southern China, and it represents the largest great ape known to scientists. It stood 10 feet tall and weighed up to 650 pounds.

Scientists believe that as the environment changed these great apes weren't able to adapt and thus went extinct. Pretty interesting! Annimals used to be much larger in the past than they are now. There are still some really big apes around and there are some really big chimps too; namely, the Billi Chimps..! Anyway, just want to bring this topic here to discuss. So, what says ATS? Cool discovery or a nothingburger?

Despite massive deforestation, there is still a lot of woods out there for a intelligent ape to hide in.
This guy Christopher Thomas Knight, hid for 27 years, despite actually being looked for, and not having the senses of a wild animal. Having only 2 brief encounters during that time.
