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.

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.
Hippos are big and can weigh up to 3 and a half tons. They grow up to 13 feet long and stand 5 feet tall. They can live for up to 50 years but the oldest known hippo was a female called Donna who lived in a zoo in Indiana, America until she was 60. A real old lady!! The first hippo in captivity was called Obaysch, who appeared in London Zoo on 25th May 1850. What do hippos eat?
