Introduction. 1  The inadequate reporting of biomedical research is a longstanding and potentially serious global problem that is not entirely evident to many researchers 1. 2  This descriptive study was carried out in two stages. 3  We used the STROBE recommendations as an objective tool to evaluate the quality of the reports.
By Daderot, derivative work Jan KamenÃ­Äek via Wikimedia Commons. From the Yeti to Hollywoodâs King Kong, myths and stories have always surrounded gigantic apes. Gigantopithecus blacki, the largest ape that ever lived, stood 3m tall and weighed over 500kg. Its enormous bulk and brute strength kept Gigantopithecus safe from the predators it lived alongside â including tigers, leopards and black bears.
The answer is certainly a dinosaur, and certainly a sauropod. Depending on how accurate current estimates are, a sauropod might even be the largest creature ever to have existed, perhaps beating the Blue Whale's record of 103 feet and weight of +175 tons (although some say 110 feet). Please understand that for the reasons detailed, this is not an exact science!
