There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Called it. These "Bili Apes" are no more than a figment of human lore: they are simply a genetically-different subpopulation of the Eastern Chimpanzee.
The visual representation of apes in comparison to humans is partially incorrect. The Eastern Lowland Gorilla does not weigh 551-pounds on average, but 175 to 190 kilograms (385 to 418-pounds) on average. 250-kilogram specimens of primates are exceptional specimens, with the exception of Gigantopithecus. Also, the size of these "Bili Apes" are not well-documented.

Other than that, the topic on "Bili Apes" proves to be a learning opportunity to learn about the sub-specific and individual differences (both physical and genetic) between chimpanzee groups.
