Listen "Gigantopithecus, the Giant Ape"
Episode Synopsis
(image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantopithecus) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Gigantopithecus, the closest nature has come to King Kong. From the Late Pleistocene, this 12-foot-tall ape lived in the few jungles that weathered the dry Ice Age climate and tore people's arms off if they beat them at space chess. Oh wait, that's Chewbacca. My mistake. Want to further support the show? Sign up to our Patreon for exclusive bonus content here.
