Edgar Rice Burroughs, a prophet

Tarzan's great apes have been found.

Deep in the Congolese jungle is a band of apes that, according to local legend, kill lions, catch fish and even howl at the moon. Local hunters speak of massive creatures that seem to be some sort of hybrid between a chimp and a gorilla.

...

They are actually a population of super-sized chimps with a unique culture - and it seems, a taste for big cat flesh.

somewhere out there, Michael Crichton is smiling smugly, sipping some red wine and feeding peanuts to his pet monkey.
