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.

Giganto and tigers co-existed for tens if not hundred of thousands of years in Asia and if assume that they were exterminated by tigers that mean evolution of tigers went faster, they got larger faster than gigantos who fell behind; think here important could be also some climate change.
Hunting of such of gigantic apes with colossal power (even gorilla is 8 times stronger than man) could be quite risky especialy during the day when whole herd is in alert. So probably attacks occurred during the night when primates vision is much inferior than the vision of big cats exactly in the absence of moon, similar as probably is doing modern leopard - approaching a sleeping female gorilla and making a neck bite on artery. Its same if I'm crawling from behind in the night towards my friend Rishi when he is napping and attack him with a knife (@Rishi forgive me budy it was only a joke  Lol ). Frontal attack on alpha giganto weighting half a ton and who probably was capable brake the neck of bull by snuffling it would be suicidal for the tiger.

Grizzlyclaws, since we have only lower jaw and teeth of giganto remained (at least as long as I know)  nobody cant say with certainty how looked like giganto - as gorilla or as giant orangutan. We need all skeleton and if it will be find that will be one of the grearest paleontological discoveries in all times. All Asiatic apes - gibbons and orangutans posess long arms, I will be not surprised if the span of both hands of giganto was ar. 5 meters - something like gigantic crab who can reach high branches of the trees from the ground.
