Gigantopithecus (Gigantopithecus blacki) was a species of a very large ape – the largest known yet – living in southern China hundreds of thousands years ago (during Middle Pleistocene).
Not much is known about Gigantopithecus as only teeth and jaw bones were ever found (in Chinese caves and markets). It is thought to be related to orangutans. Estimates say it was about 3 metres tall and weighted almost 270 kg.
