Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape that existed from perhaps nine million years to as recently as one hundred thousand years ago, in what is now China, India, and Vietnam, placing Gigantopithecus in the same time frame and geographical location as several hominin species. The primate fossil record suggests that the species Gigantopithecus blacki were the largest known primates that ever lived, standing up to 3 m (9.8 ft) and weighing as much as 540–600 kg (1,190–1,320 lb),although some argue that it is more likely that they were much smaller, at roughly 1.8–2 m (5.9–6.6 ft) in height and 180–300 kg (400–660 lb) in weight.

Pam Purple Rose, if you see this I just wanted to tell you I’m enjoying listening to your recounting of your dogman type encounter. Will listen to the orb encounter next. We’re distant neighbors – I live between Corvallis and Mary’s Peak. I am surprised by how many reports there have been around my neck of the woods in the last 20 years.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi, and thank you for telling us about your encounters.

You gotta be brave to go into cave. Who knows what might else might be in there that you can’t see until it’s too late.
