Gigantopithecus, one of the largest apes to roam the earth over 100,000 years ago, refused to adapt to a new diet after the last ice age and became instinct. It refused to eat its greens laid out in the new Savannah grasslands and remained partial to its preferred diet of fresh and fermented fruits of the remaining forested sanctuaries. Scientists are puzzled at the choice, that eventually condemned the mega ape to extinction.
