The real King Kong

Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape that existed from between 300,000 and 1 million years ago in what is now China, India, and Vietnam.

That means they could have existed alongside humans.

They were the biggest apes that ever lived, standing up to 3 metres (almost 10 feet) and weighing up to 540 kg (1,200 lb).

Supposed Yeti remains

Note: The scalp is generally assumed to be a fake.

The Pangboche Hand is an artifact stolen from Pangboche Monastery, Nepal. It's claimed that the hand is from a Yeti, and it has been there "for many years". The following is a photo of the Pangboche Hand, taken in 1958 by Peter Byrne.



A finger from the Pangboche Hand was smuggled out of Nepal in 1958/9 and ended up at the Royal College of Surgeons in London, labelled "a Yeti finger from Pangboche Hand".
