if you guys knew anything about the woods like I do...then you would also know that thru PREDATION by hyenas and wolverines on the continents that there are no known skeletons of apes ever found....everything but teeth and jaws are eaten....there have been millions of apes...and only ONE FOSSIL SKELETON in 3 millions years....so theres that....and here in Americas wolverines are the hyenas of the Americas.....the eat all BONES AND TEETH of everything....so an animal which only numbers in the 100's....you wont find a skeleton....but a deer or a known animal that numbers in the bazillions....I have only seen a few....and youse 2 guys have only seen less than 10 times in all the years hunting....so I am correct.....google do we find modern ape bones....the answer is NO....only ones in zoos or captivity and only since 1800.....we only know a small fraction of ape lineage and only have several teeth and jaw bones.....from apes we know exist....so theres that....no you aint gonna see any bones....too small a population....but I will say this....the pangbeche skull cap and one other skull cap from bigfoots match up with the creature filmed in the skunk ape one above...same animal....same cone head...same hair color as people report....they also will tell you without a doubt that they exist...so theres that too.....none of it is coolaid....its all facts and science....the only study ever done on apes is diane fossey....that's it...one person.....50 years.....there is much out there still unknown and this is one of them....heres some key points from a study...I hate to tell you this....but it didn't die out as they had guessed (many dinosaurs are alive we thought extinct they ceolocanth above is one also)....guess being the key word in all this....they always ASSUMED it died out....it didnt
The evidence found in Vietnam seems to suggest, he added, that although Gigantopithecus was apparently the last of its gargantuan evolutionary line, the animal may have survived to a much later time than had been previously suspected, and was, in fact, a contemporary of man.
the Hanoi Government has granted two American anthropologists permission to visit the site, where the bones of Homo erectus and his stone weapons are said to be mingled with the remains of the ape Gigantopithecus: the largest primate known to have lived.
northeast of Hanoi, in a range of sugarloaf-shaped limestone mountains shot through with ancient sinkholes, caverns and underground streams. (think tennesee and Oregon) The same geological formation extends into the neighboring Chinese province of Kwangsi.
Gigantopithecus has been cloaked in mystery ever since its fossil remains were accidentally discovered in a Hong Kong pharmacy 51 years ago.
Since 1935, scientists have found hundreds of Gigantopithecus teeth and some jawbones of corresponding size at sites in Pakistan and China. But apart from some barely identifiable chips, few other bones of Gigantopithecus have ever come to light, and attempts at reconstructing the animal have remained largely speculative. Dr. Olsen believed the ravages of ancient hyenas may explain the difficulty of finding Gigantopithecus bones other than jaws and teeth. ''We know that hyenas were contemporaries of Gigantopithecus in mid-Pleistocene China,'' he said of the time 700,000 to 100,000 years ago, ''and we know how modern hyenas in East Africa feed. When they devour the carcass of a large animal, they eat everything except the teeth and jawbones, which are too difficult to chew up.''
''We now believe,'' he said, ''that Gigantopithecus became extinct during the mid-Pleistocene, perhaps surviving until about 300,000 years ago, or even a bit later. Some of our Chinese colleagues would say, in fact, that some form of Gigantopithecus might have survived to this day as the so-called yeti, or abominable snow man.''
