Significance: Years ago, Palaeo-anthropologist Dr. Grover Krantz postulated that a number of the encounters with semi-tropical forest and mountain forest "Wild Men" to include the "Yeren" and even a "Meh-Teh" or "Desu-Teh" version of the "Yeti" were in actuality an encounter with the not-extinct descendants of the Indochinese Gigantopithecus blacki anthropoid ape somewhat related to the two orangutan subspecies of Boreo and Sumatra. Indochinese locals also describe a giant orangutan known as the "Orang Pendek."

FROM BILL'S FACEBOOK: September 1994: For all you Bigfoot and Yeti lovers--1994--The Berkeley Group's TV show "Encounters on FOX--Ball point pen & inks with India ink entitled "The Wildman of Southern China, Indochina and Malaysia"--This hominoid neogiant is a derivative of the ancient Gigantopithecus blacki ape. Palaeontological Primatologist Dr. Grover Krantz determined that the Southeast Asian populations of Gigantopithecus from two million years ago in India and 250,000 years BCE in Indochina are most closely related to Orangutan apes and may also account for the Borneo and Sumatran tales of Orang Pendek.
