Serious news…
NBC News claims that the real-life relatives of King Kong, the cinema’s favorite skyscraper-scaling ape, met their ancient demise and went extinct due to climate change.
This ridiculous claim unfolds with NBC’s assertion that Gigantopithecus, the colossal primate that roamed Earth almost 300,000 years ago, didn’t face extinction from a tragic, albeit fictional, fall from New York’s tallest building.
Instead, the news outlet insists that these giant apes simply couldn’t hack the prehistoric climate crisis. The report suggests that the giant apes went extinct because they couldn’t reach their favorite fruit.
“Wow, an entire species of giant ape went extinct because they couldn’t reach their favorite fruit. What a sad and pathetic way to go.
