I bet no one subjected this bugger to medical experiments:
The largest ape to walk the earth - a prehistoric primate that weighed up to 540kg and had inch-wide teeth - may have lived alongside early humans, according to scientists.
Fossils from the 3m-tall ape Gigantopithecus blackii, which were found in southern China, have been dated to the same era when humans were thought to have inhabited the area.
Of course, it's not all bad.
It is well known that everything is better with monkeys.
Speaking of which: Kong is King!
Good to see Pete has lost some weight. For a while there, I thought he was going to play the title role himself.
