Gigantopithecus


Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape that was from about one million years ago to three hundred thousand years. Gigantopithecus in the same time frame and geographical location as several hominid species.
They are also known as the largest ape to ever live. The largest fossil ever found was to be 9.8 feet tall and weighing up to 1,200 lbs.  The first Gigantopithecus remains described by an anthropologist were found in 1935 by Ralph von Koenigswald in an apothecary shop. Fossilized teeth and bones are often ground into powder and used in some branches of traditional Chinese medicine.
 

Now you ask what this has to do with Bigfoot well I shall share that with you.

There is thought to been creatures that have been extinct. For example the sealacamp thought to live over 4 million years ago. These fish are known to be 7 foot long with hard ruff scales. A group of fisherman fishing off in the Indian Ocean caught one of these fish. the science field was socked to found out it was a sealacamp.
      This makes me think that it only adapted to the changes of the world weather and growth of human kind. This was found in 1938.


Now why it is not possible for the gigantopithecus to do the same thing, change for its surrounding. be able to change color for the area it lives, brown, black, reddish brown, white, etc. They are known to me flesh eaters in a few reports I have read. Bigfoot are known to eat meat as well as plants ( berries, leaves, twigs).

My thoughts are Bigfoot might be a descendant from the gigantopithecus that has evolved over time to adapt to the changes of time.

Finding Bigfoot!!!!

The TV show finding Bigfoot was on last night and they came to Ohio. They the Ohio is a hot spot for Bigfoot (as if I didn't know that lol). They were not to far out from where I located, but if they was to take a little time and map out sightings they would have know where I live and the areas around me have the most sighting in Ohio.
Columbiana County- 9
Jefferson County- 7
Stark County-9
Guernsey County-9
Tuscarawas County-6
Portage County- 16

Now there is most likely more do to the fact that not every Bigfoot sighting is reported in any way. But I took sighting for different sights and books and stories that I have got told to my self. From the years 1940 to 2011. I also map out the number of sightings and put them in the right county to find the most sighting in the state, and also found where it is most likely to be seen.



Each county has a number beside it telling how many sighting was in that county, and the red ones mean that there has not been any reported  sightings yet.

The year not listed didn't have any reported sightings. But that doesn't always mean that there was not none.

I would also like to say that I have found a newspaper that had a story in it from December 11, 1883 from the Fort Wayne Gazette telling the story of a Bigfoot or as they called it a wild man.
