What about the Moa? or the Haast's Eagle? Or for your scaley fix - There's always the Komodo Dragon and Giant Tortoises  So KK might have just been a really really REALLY good example of island gigantism lol ;D Yes what about the Moa and Haast's Eagle, both of which are from the Islands of New Zealand. The South Island covers 56,308 square miles and the North Island 43,082 square miles. They are the 12th and 14th biggest islands in the world today. King Kong supposively lived on an uncharted island which you couldn't even see on a globe. We are talking about living in a relatively small secluded area. You probably think Australia is an island. That is where Megalania lived. The Komodo Dragons on the small islands have actually downsized. The Giant Tortoises originally lived in Asia and Australia but now live only on islands to avoid predators such as man. And lets take a look at King Kongs Island. There are Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs on the island. Look at the Cretaceous and Jurassic, the biggest mammal was the size of a possum. That is an awfully small King Kong young lady. Maybe you should cut back on your alcohol consumption. This is the Nature Of Science. J/K ;D Ah, again, you are wrong-- King Kong originated from a huge island that over a couple years (maybe 50?) shrank down because of tectonic movements. In 50 years or so, they didn't have enough time to get small-- that would have taken quite a while. Remember, officially skull island permanently sank in 1948.  |

Every land mass is an island from a large enough perspective Is there supposed to be a viable population of Gigantopithecus kongus on Skull Island, or is KK a one off mutant? Maybe we should create a king kong thread, there may be a fair bit of mileage in this fun discussion. If anybody wants to, please do. |

Where do you get all this tectronic movement stuff. You say " In fifty years or so, they didn't have enough time to get small". Where did they ( King Kong & Dinosaurs) come from to start with? When Skull Island sank (yes it was suppose to be 1948) has nothing to do with it. What is your point? ;D |

;D It doesn't work that way CT, on an island it would get smaller! ;D Ah, now I have you. You have absolutely no idea about what you are talking about! ;D Things don't just get smaller on islands, they also can get bigger-- The madagascar giant hissing roach, the madagascar giant ground gecko, Rhacodactylus Leachinus Leachinus (A huge, twenty inch gecko from indonesia), the moa, etc. Again Madagascar is even bigger then the New Zealand Islands. It covers over 226,000 square miles. It is the 4th biggest Island and 46th biggest country in the World! A roach and a 20 Inch gecko is no 60 Foot tall King Kong. You are talking Cryptozoology. I guess the last laugh is on you! ;D I guess your Skull Island was this big!  ;D |

(actually they made a book about Skill I. Species) |

Madagascar is still a relatively small island- compared to africa, N america, etc. And remember, skull island would have been much, much bigger in the past. The twenty inch gecko evolved from a 6 inch gecko-- that is a little over three times the original size. King Kong is a little over three times the original size of gigantopithecus. Think stoneage! Think! ;D And king kong is only twenty or twenty five feet long. Not 60! ;D |

The creator of King Kong Merian C Cooper envisioned Kong as being 40 to 50 feet tall. In the 1933 original movie RKO's promotional material list Kongs official height as 50 feet. In some scenes in this orginal movie Kong appears to be 60 feet tall. In 1986's King Kong Lives, Kong is scaled to be 60 feet tall. Gigantopithecus was 9 3/4 feet tall. That would make your Kong over 30 feet tall. There has never been a primate anywhere or at any time that large, especially living along side Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs. You should have your own show CT. You can call it CT does Cryptozoology! ;D |

;D Dr. Lindell Broham and Dr. Marcel Cardillo did a study on the effects of primates living on islands. They determined that all small island primate species (less than 5 KG) are larger than their closest mainland relatives. All other island primate species are smaller than their closest mainland relatives. ;D

They originally wanted him to be 50 feet tall, but they DECIDED AGAINST IT. ;D And who is talking about the old king kong movies? We are all talking about the 2005 one (hence the venatosaurs). Get with the frickin' program stoneage! It seems as though you look up stuff on the web, don't even read it, and paste it here! ;D |

You never specified the 2005 movie which used the 25 foot tall Kong. Still what does it matter, it is impossible anyway. I have proven you wrong over and over again. Why do you persist? Gigantopithecus kongas does not exist in science or fiction. You made that up. You are delusional. ;D |
