Giant ape may be new species, page 1

Here's the story...Clicky, clicky

An elusive giant ape has been spotted in remote forests in central Africa, sparking theories that it could be a new species of primate - a finding that would be the most astonishing wildlife discovery in decades, New Scientist says.

I hope that they find a live specimin of this ape. If they do, the idea of the Bigfoot and the Yeti won't seem so far off.

This was in the news, over a year ago.

Seems with that time span, there would be more information available..

If, by chance, this IS a Hybrid ape..How might this effect the way the older homonids are classified..There has always been speculation as to where each homonid "type" fits on the family tree of Man..Its possible a lot of the branches have intertwined..so to speak..

For an ape this size I think that would be over doing it a little, though it would be fun to watch. www.army.mil...
