Bio - Kong
King Kong is a giant ape, the second last member (last member in the remakes) of his species (Megaprimatus kong). The species is not native to Skull Island, but it is presumed that the species Gigantopithecus, a prehistoric ape that is bigger than any current modern apes (related to the orangutan), either came to the island via an ancient land bridge linked to Asia or brought into the island by the humans that lived in it. This of course happened many thousands of years ago. Kong is approximately 25 feet tall, and weighs 5 tons. Kongs appearance is like that of an ordinary gorilla, except he is much larger and stronger, and he grows to a height of about 25 feet. Like any gorilla, his fur is a dark black and he has the silver hair on his back and head common in all gorillas, hence the term silverback.
