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.
Tuesday, November 08, 2005. Largest primate that ever lived lived alongside humans. A gigantic ape, measuring about 10 feet tall and weighing up to 1,200 pounds, co-existed alongside humans, a geochronologist at McMaster University has discovered.
The largest rodent that ever lived was the size of a cow. It was 3m (9.8 ft) long, with a 1.5 m (5 ft.) tail, and probably weighed around 700 kg (1,543 lbs). This rodent could kill you if it sat on you. Actually, the figures cited are for Phoberomys pattersoni, which is only the second-largest rodent that ever lived.
