Orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) currently inhabit only the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Fossil evidence indicates that their past distribution included much of Southeast Asia.\n\nOrangutans are only found in forested areas, but can be found in various types of forests, from low-level swamps to mountainous areas 1.5 km in elevation. They can be found at various heights in the trees. They may move large distances to find trees bearing fruit.\n\nOrangutans are sexually dimorphic. Females range from 30 to 50 kg, whereas males are from 50 to 90 kg. Head and body length is about 1.5 meters and the arms have a spread of about 2.2 meters. They have a thin, shaggy coat that is reddish brown in color. Males have large cheek pads, which are made up of deposits of subcutaneous fat bound by connective tissue. These cheek pads continue growing for much of an adult male's life. Orangutans have a high, sloping forehead and a bulging snout. They have short, weak legs, but strong hands and arms.\n\nOrangutans are polygynous. Although mainly solitary, the home ranges of males overlap those of females. On the rare occasions that the females within their home ranges are sexually receptive, dominant males will mate with them. Younger, smaller males, which are not able to maintain home ranges of their own, often wander alone through the forests. These males may also mate with females, although such copulations are generally forced, and appear to occur as the opportunity arizes, not because the female is sexually receptive or fertile.\n\nFemale orangutans have an estrous cycle about 30 days in length with ovulation occurring around the 15th day. This species does not have genital swelling during estrous, and females have a light menstrual flow lasting 3 or 4 days. Copulation is usually done with the male and female facing each other, each hanging by the arms from a tree branch. Gestation can take anywhere from 233 to 263 days, and typically one offspring is born, although twinning sometimes occurs. Weaning occurs arounf 42 months, although the timing of this may be affected by habitat quality. The interbirth interval is about 4 years, but can be much longer if conditions are poor. In females, sexual maturity is reached at 7 years of age, by which time females have attained their adult size. Males, however, continue to grow until they are 10 years old, and do not have the physical and social maturity required for successful mating until about 14 years of age.\n\nNewborn infants weigh around 1.5 kg. Babies nurse every 3 to 4 hours, and begin to take soft food from their mothers' lips at age 4 months. A young orangutan clings to its mother's abdomen by entwining its fingers in and gripping her fur until it is a year old, then it begins to ride on her back, which it may continue to do until 2.5 years of age. An infant will scream loudly if separated from its mother. The young are not weaned until they are 3 1/2 years old.\n\nAll of the great apes live a long time. In captivity, orangutans may reach the age of 60 years, although the lifespan in the wild is probably shorter.\n\nOrangutans do not form large social groups. Individuals usually travel alone or in small groups consisting of 2 females, their dependent young, and occasionally an adult male. Generally males and females come together only to mate, and otherwise do not associate with one another. Males' home ranges are often 2 to 6 sq. km. in size, and overlap the ranges of several females but not usually those of other males, toward whom they are aggressive.\n\nOrangutans are active during the day (diurnal) and are almost exclusively arboreal. They can be found at various levels in the trees. They locomote by walking along and swinging from branches, descending to the ground only if they cannot move between trees via the branches. Each night they construct, using vegetation, a platform-style nest 40 to 60 feet high in a tree on which they sleep. They may descend briefly to the forest

I posted a link below that will give you some information on Sea Monkeys. I know they are a lot smaller than you expect at first anyway. Neat thing for kids to do.

Where did you see it referenced?  Are you certain of the spelling?  I have access to a scientific database but the word "teoglico" was not found.

It's supposedly a creature that lives in the U.S. It walks on two legs like humans but is covered in hair like primates. Some dodgy film footage allegedly showing Big Foot was shot in the 50s(?) but there is as much evidence that he exists as there is of the Loch Ness monster! He is also known as sasquatch but that is almost certainly not how you spell it!

The name is Gigantopithecus blacki; Gigantopithecus means giant ape. \nIt's an extinct primate that lived in Southeast Asia; it has been hypothesized that it fed on fibrous plants (especially bamboo) and it apparently coexisted with an early Homo species.\nThis ape has been reconstructed as being 10 feet tall and weighing 1,200 pounds.
