More Amazing, Real Pictures on the Internet De Loy’s Ape

The picture was taken by Francois de Loys during his 1917-1920 expedition at one of their campsites near Tarra River. He stated that two creatures approached them and looked aggressive and potentially dangerous, so they shot one of them, which proved to be a male. The controversy behind this photograph is that De Loys is thought to have discovered a new species, as the animal resembled a spider monkey, but it was much larger, being 1.57 m high. After analyzing the photo, some researchers, among whom, Michael Shoemaker argued that there were other differences present as well that could differentiate this specimen from the spider monkey, such as the 32 teeth instead of 36, modifications in the chest, hands, face and under bite and most importantly, that it had a much higher forehead than any other known ape.
