 Gesundheit .

 Here is the thing , those guys all lived in China with some cousins in parts of SE Asia . They were fruit eaters who lived in very temperate climates , seems doubtful they could survive in Montana , or at 15,000 feet in Tibet .

Good reading
https://www.britannica.com/animal/Gigantopithecus Giganto could have been around as late as 100,000 years ago, and had at least one cousin.

You know Dusty... Seems like you may have something to hide here.. :evil: :azn:.I'm starting to think that maybe you belong to a secret Bigfoot Nessie Cult and are trying to cover your tracks..

You have heard of a  Plesiosaur haven't you?

What is it you people out in Oklahoma do anyway? :-)

or a Gigantopithecus

I have sort of a two-wheel ORCA!! :laugh: :grin: :wink: :rolleyes: :shocked: 

Although, as we all know "Moby Dick" was a white Sperm Whale... :rolleyes: :shocked:


[/url]


I'd like to report a sighting of the above Great White Sperm Whale outside Graziano's restaurant in Forest, VA 45 minutes ago.

Are we supposed to fill out an official Wild Guzzi Reporting Form, or everything just a taken as word of mouth?  You know, kinda like what is the best engine oil.

I really thought I would see Bigfoot before I saw a Great White Sperm Whale on dry land a couple hundred miles from the ocean.

Life really is full of surprises!

As a child I peered out over that dark Scottish lake for hours and saw nothing.

That's because it was a shadow at the door of a cottage on the shore ...

I was snorkeling and a moray eel with teeth like that snapped at me.  When I got back in the boat everyone was laughing at me.  They said some 12 years old were poking at when I came along. 

Scared me to death, thought I was going to be bitten and maybe die.

In my case, the contingency is EXTREMELY remote ....   :tongue:
