🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- image The image shows a size comparison of the lower jawbone (mandible) of the extinct ape Gigantopithecus blacki with that of a modern-day gorilla. image Gigantopithecus was the largest ape to ever live, estimated to be up to 3 meters (about 10 feet) tall and weighing over 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds), significantly larger than modern gorillas. image Gigantopithecus blacki was a giant extinct ape from Asia, and is a popular candidate in cryptozoology for inspiring Yeti legends, as it was huge (up to 10 ft tall), lived relatively recently (until ~100,000 years ago), and overlapped with early humans, making its memory plausible in folklore. While it's a compelling link for the Asian Yeti, its connection to North American Bigfoot is less direct, though some speculate it crossed the Bering Land Bridge.
