After not posting for while due to getting everything set up I have finally got everything in order.
To start things off let's talk about my second favorite Apes movie Rise. Now most may not put it at the top but I do for the simple fact of Andy Serkis as Caesar, his acting was superb and Oscar award winning good. However that is not why I want to talk about Rise, the reason is the size of Caesar.
Most say that Chimpanzees do not grow that big, however I disagree and I have found a good explanation for Caesar's size that makes sense, since they never said exactly where in Africa Bright Eyes was caught I am going to choose the Congo for this reason alone, Giant Chimpanzee's live in the Congo. Also known as Bili Apes these 'giant' chimpanzee's grow to two meters in height which is just a tad over six feet, making Caesar a great candidate for being an offspring of one. Bright Eyes could have easily bred with a Bili Ape by either answering the mating call or by being raped by one. I am leaning more towards the rape answer as another type of chimpanzee the Bonobo have been known for such acts as their whole heirarchy is based on sex.
That idea farfetched? I don't think so at all, now logically I don't think the film makers had that idea in mind at all however, I feel that it makes a tad bit more sense than saying he grew due to the ALZ-112 that was in his system when he was born.
