A gigantic ape standing 10 feet tall and weighing up to 1,200 pounds lived alongside humans for over a million years, according to a new study.

Fortunately for the early humans, the huge primate's diet consisted mainly of bamboo.

Scientists have known about Gigantopithecus blackii since the accidental discovery of some of its teeth on sale in a Hong Kong pharmacy about 80 years ago. While the idea of a giant ape piqued the interest of scientists – and bigfoot hunters – around the world, it was unclear how long ago this beast went extinct.

"Yetis" are not impossible. That they always get away, however, is making it less and less of a possibility!

We still haven't found one of them conveniently dead or killed by an avalanche (or even a heart attack)--etc. etc. etc. :-)

No credible evidence has ever been presented for these things. There is as much evidence for unicorns or a moon made out of cheese. So they are possible, for sure...
