No ape including gorillas should be able to kill an adult lion.

"We could hear them in the trees, about 20 feet away," she said. "My tracker made a sound of an injured duiker [antelope] and four came rushing through the brush towards me.

The tracker must be fun at parties.

I was directly in front of them, and as soon as they saw my face, they stopped and disappeared."

What a sad personal comment, but at least she's in no danger of being raped....

[danteinferno]

So now we have two stories about thickheaded, agressive, ape like creatures? I mean John Edwards was enough, but now these things?

Anyway, its remarkable to think about brand new mammals that we've never seen.

"...as soon as they saw my face, they stopped and disappeared."

....and this suprises whom?

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Tarzan the great white ape, bump.

[dougherty]

Hard to imagine there's a mammal we don't know about yet but still a cool story.

[Grut]

Probably a dumb question, but are there Lions in the "remote forests of the Congo?" If not, then I have to wonder if the natives aren't having the anthropologists on.

"If this had been a bluff charge, they would have been screaming to intimidate us. These guys were quiet. And they were huge. They were coming in for the kill. I was directly in front of them, and as soon as they saw my face, they stopped and disappeared."

They're liberal, too.......

I thought Michael Moore's family came from Michigan...

[Bellflower]

Their ridged skulls were typical of gorillas but they behaved like chimps, and unlike either they made permanent nests.

If they have seen their nests and studied their skulls why haven't we heard about this before? They would have video cameras with them if they were on an expedition to find them. Where are the videos? Do they have pictures of these skulls? This may not be a hoax but scientist have been known to do them in order to promote themselves (funding, prestige) and/or their theories. I want to see the proof myself.

Nothing to see here, folks -- just Democrats Abroad. The DNC already has them registered and they'll probably produce 112% turnout for Kerry.

"There are huge cultural differences among chimpanzees," he said.

Welcome to the real world...

[Varda]

Cool! I remember seeing a show about a "humanzee", a chimp they thought was a human/chimp hybrid. Turns out he had some strange but thoroughly chimp DNA. Maybe this is his species, in the wild.

[Jonah Hex]

"Fascinating."

The battle between the splitters and lumpers continues.

"My tracker made a sound of an injured duiker [antelope] and four came rushing through the brush towards me."

Boy, I know how that goes. Once I was mauled by a frenzied pack of rabbits after I made a noise like a bruised carrot.
