The Gigantopithecus was a giant ape who weighed to be around 600 pounds, although even some of the largest males weighed in to be around 1,200 pounds. [http://unmuseum.mus.pa.us/bigape.html] They measured to be nine to ten feet in height when standing on their hind legs. [http://unmuseum.mus.pa.us/bigape.html] They were most likely a large-jawed creature. These creatures are estimated to have walked on their knuckles, forearms, and legs, along with today's gorillas and certain primates. [http://unmuseum.mus.pa.us/bigape.htm] Which in other words, also means ground dwelling.[http://www.wynja.com/arch/gigantopithecus.html] Scientists assume that because the Gigantopithecus has such a massive jaw, it must come from adapting to the chewing of plant matter consisting of a lot of fiber; [http://www.wynja.com/arch/gigantopithecus.html] plant matter such as [[bamboo]].

Some scientists believe that the female Gigantopithecus was half the size of the male due to the difference of two distinct size groupings of teeth.

There was an intricate evaluation of 4 Gigantopithecus's teeth. Identified were thirty different structures which ended up dividing into two different categories which were the vegetative parts of grasses and the seeds of fruit.
