@JWCartoonist I never got why King Louie needed the fire to fight Shere Khan. Louie was a Gigantopithecus, the biggest ape ever found on Earth. One of those could easily kill a Tiger. https://t.co/dCswiQwETw

Gigantopithecus blackiは、生息域や顎や頭や歯の形がジャイアントパンダと似ているもんだから、竹食の可能性が指摘されてたよう。でも、この研究で、歯のエナメル質を対象に同位体分析を行い、竹に特化してたわけでなく、広食性であったことがわかったそう。ほほお。 https://t.co/G2tWXjwh7p
