No ape including gorillas should be able to kill an adult lion.

"We could hear them in the trees, about 20 feet away," she said. "My tracker made a sound of an injured duiker [antelope] and four came rushing through the brush towards me. The tracker must be fun at parties.
I was directly in front of them, and as soon as they saw my face, they stopped and disappeared."
What a sad personal comment, but at least she's in no danger of being raped....

So now we have two stories about thickheaded, agressive, ape like creatures? I mean John Edwards was enough, but now these things?
Anyway, its remarkable to think about brand new mammals that we've never seen.

Hard to imagine there's a mammal we don't know about yet but still a cool story.

Probably a dumb question, but are there Lions in the "remote forests of the Congo?" If not, then I have to wonder if the natives aren't having the anthropologists on.

"If this had been a bluff charge, they would have been screaming to intimidate us. These guys were quiet. And they were huge. They were coming in for the kill. I was directly in front of them, and as soon as they saw my face, they stopped and disappeared."They're liberal, too.......

Their ridged skulls were typical of gorillas but they behaved like chimps, and unlike either they made permanent nests. If they have seen their nests and studied their skulls why haven't we heard about this before? They would have video cameras with them if they were on an expedition to find them. Where are the videos? Do they have pictures of these skulls? This may not be a hoax but scientist have been known to do them in order to promote themselves (funding, prestige) and/or their theories. I want to see the proof myself.

No ape including gorillas should be able to kill an adult lion. Not alone, no. Apes, including humans, don't typically hunt alone, however. Note the researcher had four of the things come at him. Chimps, when they hunt, keep in contact by calling out to one another. Some get behind the prey and the rest drive the prey onto them.

No ape including gorillas should be able to kill an adult lion. I agree--unless they're granted a hunting license.
