"It's taken heroic means to save the Condor. It remains to be seen if we can save it long term or increase the population in future decades. It's a lot easier to trap or grab those last few condors in the wild and try to get them help they needed when they were almost extinct. This has helped," Backdoc "The Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) is considered the world's rarest ape. There are fewer than 800 individuals left, and they face a high risk of extinction. The Tapanuli orangutan was only discovered in 2017, making it the first new ape species found in over 80 years," Google "Yes, Gigantopithecus, the giant ape often associated with Bigfoot, is extinct.Fossil evidence suggests it went extinct between 295,000 and 215,000 years ago. While some believe Bigfoot might be a surviving population of Gigantopithecus or a similar creature, there's no scientific evidence to support this," Google Hopefully Sasquatch has enough of a viable population like the Tapanuli orangutan in order to be discovered someday. It's a matter of time before Bigfoot is proven to exist by capturing one or a dead specimen brought in. The Patterson-Gimlin sighting and my personal sighting has proven to me that bigfoot exists, and I don't expect widespread belief. My sighting report is in the Northwest sighting section. We are impatient and discovery may not happen for another 200 years, so in the meantime we keep the door open, keep up the field work, and gather evidence. Someday a sick or dead Bigfoot will found and brought in for examination and final proof. My days are numbered at 77 years old so please get the evidence and proof so we can be assured that bigfoot will be protected. I would like to know if the Tapanuli orangutan was captured or shot, then approved by zoologist as a new species.
