Sometimes a story sneaks past you, like this one on CNN which reports researchers think they may have discovered a brand new species of great ape, one that stands six feet tall, combines traits of both a chimp and gorilla, and is so damned big, strong and scary, that it has virtually no known predators. Could all turn out to be wrong. But what a treat if it’s true.
