Dinopithecus, a huge baboon that may ...

Oh, that’s just too big!

Baboons are pretty tough customers just as they are; but imagine if they were as big as full-grown human beings.

Good Grief! The Giant Baboon

I was sick yesterday, I’m playing hooky from physical therapy today–because the weather’s nice and I want to sit outside and write–and I’m tired–so I will leave it to the readers to generate wisecracks involving baboons, regular or king-sized.

You’ve got to admit a baboon as big as a grown man would be an alarming proposition.

Hi, Mr. Nature here, with Dinopithecus, the giant baboon. Granted, we only know this creature from bits of bone and fossil teeth, with nothing anywhere near a full skeleton; but if you’ve seen one set of baboon teeth, you’ve seen ’em all. At least that’s what I hear.

Dinopithecus teeth have been found in Ethiopia, but no living Dinopithecus has been found anywhere. I don’t care what they say about Capitol Hill in Washington.

God doesn’t make baboons in this size anymore; but I’m sure He’s kept the blueprints.
