Gigantopithecus. The biggest monkeys in history.
From 1 million years ago to 300,000 years ago (equals a little more), there is a bigfoot or piegrande; a real yeti ... and no kidding. His name is Gigantopithecus and he shares the same family with us: Hominidae. It is the BIGGEST PRIMATE THAT STAYS IN EARTH hence its name (giant monkey). He lives in China today, India and Vietnam and probably lives with Homo erectus in Southeast Asia. Bigger, stronger, more than our nearest ancestor "Goliath" or Homo Heidelbergensis, Gigantopithecus is a big and close vegetarian chubaca like a orangutan. Its height has already exceeded the other animals, despite its mighty big size, but it does not disturb other humans, like other animals who like to disturb the plants of society does not disturb people, as in the photo he is like fine, do not make people afraid of people.
Let's look at some features.
WEIGHT:
Orangutans can weigh up to 120 kg, and a 200-well-formed gorilla. The Gigantopithecus, it's over, folded and nearly tripled. It comes with a weight of 500 kg. Like a bull. Come on, almost 3 times the weight of a great gorilla.
HIGH:
Orangutans rarely exceed 1.75 meters and gorillas are more or less the same, both are upright. But the great apes we see reach 3 meters. More than the highest basketball player. (The highest Sultan of Kosen with 2.47 weighs 150 Kg and has a problem called Gigantism).
