Extinct giant ape (†Gigantopithecus blacki) female - Ai art

(†Gigantopithecus blacki) is an of an extinct genus of ape that lived from 2 million to 350,000 years ago during the Early to Middle Pleistocene, It's height was about 3 metres ( 9.8 feet) with it weight being around 200–300 kg (441–661 pounds). It lived in mountain cloud forests of Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

 

As it's within the subfamily: Ponginae which are Asian hominids with the only genus of the still alive is the genus: Pongo = orangutan's. I tried to make (Gigantopithecus blacki) look more like an orangutan bigger. Due to it's size I deem in it lived mostly on the jungle floor then up in the trees. I made it black due to it's species name being Blacki, but there not proof of its color. With the three species of orangutan today the males had a much bigger head so I had done the same with (Gigantopithecus blacki). Of the art work done of (†Gigantopithecus blacki) I've seen there had it standing up like a man. kind of like how (big foot) looks. I deem that (Gigantopithecus blacki) could of done that like the genus: Pongo can, but spent 80% on all fours.
