Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape. It was enormous in size, a real-life Goliath of an ape. It existed until 300,000 years ago, and might’ve weighed up to 1,000 pounds. Just imagine an ape THAT big chasing you in a tropical forest. You'd probably think he was eager to devour you. But those huge species were fruit-eaters. So they wouldn't cause you any harm. But what if Gigantos lives nowadays? Would they get protection and survive just like pandas do? Or maybe they'd even help us uncover some of the secrets of the past… Homo Sapiens had many descendants that simply vanished with evolution. If Gigantos lived now, we could learn so much about ourselves. #brightside TIMESTAMPS

More 16 Easy Memory Techniques For A Better Study Session Videos

Imagine being stranded in space with no idea how you can go back. Sounds like a real nightmare, right? This is a true story that happened to a real astronaut. He was sent to space on a mission that was supposed to last only 5 months. But in the end he was stuck there for 311 consecutive days. Let's listen to the story of this astronaut and find out what exactly went wrong. How did he manage to return home after spending 10 months on a spaceship all alone? We'll see that an astronaut's job isn't all about excitement, stunning views of the Earth and zero gravity. It can be pretty unpredictable and dangerous… #brightside TIMESTAMPS
