Joe Rogan Talks Lion-Killing Chimps, Terror Birds, and More

the Joe Rogan experience if you go to the Congo you got to go walk through the stretch that has that giant chimp living in it do you know that about the giant chimp was it what's this the bondo ape the bund oh yeah it's a larger version of the chimpanzee it's like six feet tall huge 200-plus pounds geez a locals call him lion killers really yeah they nest on the corner and we got an image of where they nest on the ground like gorillas yeah yeah well this one is not that this is in images of dead ones see if you can go to theirs if you just google bondo ape there's some really good see that one in the upper left hand corner Jamie yeah but that picture mmm I don't think is real I want to say that's fake congos giant bondo 8 we see that was you know those people with the dead one okay good make that larger please can you just make the yeah you go that is that's the first evidence of one that they ever found Wow and then they they shot this thing and they took pictures of it but I believe that was in the 1930s and then they got another one that they shot at an airport and these guys are posing with this thing see if you can find them what that's it at the bottom the very bottom that right there bang look at that go go fullscreen the one below it yeah look at that make that larger look at the size of that [ __ ] chimp so that is this thing that they call the bondo ape but it has a crest on its skull like a gorilla yeah yeah it's not like it's not skulls not shaped like a chimpanzee skull and so go back to the picture please that's okay that's big enough but because it's not a very clear picture anyway so these guys shot this at an airport and look at the hog on too but the size of that thing I mean look at the the men behind it I don't know how big they are but let's assume they're tiny in their five foot five that thing is 510 511 yeah you're probably well north of 200 pounds a channel oh my god I rip you to pieces yeah but the cool thing is is this is a weird subspecies that's only in this I think it's called be Li mmm in the Congo and they call it either call it the B Li ape or they call it the the bondo ape but it's an enormous but sure up stop picture day where the guys are either side holding it up I'm sure I've seen that so Google bondo ape camera trap photo there's a camera trap photo of one of them walking upright and it's about 6 feet tall upper left-hand corner that one yeah they said by measuring this stuff around it yeah they think that that is a six foot tall chimpanzee walking through the [ __ ] jungle and that's this guy there's a guy named Carl Aman he's a thing he's from Switzerland he's a wildlife photographer and he spent a considerable amount of time trying to find these things to take photos of them because of all the descriptions that the the natives have these enormous chimpanzees they got video of one of them eating a Jaguar they don't know if it killed it or if it found it dead but some locals Paul said we're lost in the Congo is that you know in Billy well yeah I think it's called bi Li it's not a large place but it's incredibly dense jungle very hard to get to yeah for a long time it was just legend but now they have actual video of them they have photograph they have scat samples DNA and then they have the skulls the skulls that are not quite gorilla and not quite chimpanzee Colette yeah when they first got it I'm pretty sure they thought it was a hybrid they thought like a gorilla [ __ ] - Champa come here bro yeah and then now they think it's a totally different subspecies of chimpanzee so there is a nearly ueli forest so that's where you gotta go bro yeah that's not far from the sort looks like the source there yeah could you go through there so that area looks small but it's probably awesome Florida the area where these things from a young age you hear all sorts of stories about the Congo isn't it wider than the contiguous United States I think the Congo itself is wider than the United States I think there's more landmass in the Congo there's an amazing BBC documentary on the Congo from many years ago yeah I think it was like from but they spent a 29 times the United States is 29 times bigger than the Congo okay well hold on stop stop two hundred and three hundred forty two thousand square kilometers but the width of it I think it's the whiff mm-hmm there are only five million people oh that's it okay no it's not okay so that's wide it's not as close to Texas yeah it's like it's bigger than Texas for sure it's like Texas and California and maybe like one other states man there it looks like it's like 30 percent of the United States still of wilderness thought that was not yeah man and if there's a [ __ ] giant chimp living in there yeah kinds of other [ __ ] all sorts all sorts have you seen that a Shoebill bird that lives there no oh my god it's a five foot tall dinosaur of a bird is an enormous face his face is like this big and it looks like like it doesn't look real like with the way that you described it maybe photos videos oh the face that they have there there's some great high-resolution photos of the shoe bill when you look at them in the eye and you're like what the [ __ ] is that is that real they like the most ferocious looking bird it looked like that right imagine walking weight you up and see you're not looking down at you or walking through the jungle you part some leaves and that [ __ ] we came across you know and a v8 of elephant boots I think David Attenborough elephant Birds elephant birds think David Attenborough first discovered it all went to Madagascar because he was fascinated by the elephant bird went extinct I don't know how long ago but they're eggs were about they're about what half a foot or a football yeah almost like a rugby ball football yeah in in size oh there we go and my god be painful so big look at the size of that [ __ ] oh look at that goes Harrison with an ostrich oh my god there you go yeah holy [ __ ] and these were big but I came across the elephant boot eggshells they're about this thick as well maybe quarter half a centimeter and thick in thickness and they're just scattered across the southern beaches of Madagascar in their thousands so this thing is still alive no they're extinct it's just the big bags are still there yeah there you go as David Attenborough I think you bought one box in Cardiff which is the capital city there's that many of them you can just go get one this ow yeah just crushed because they're so thick or look at that compact it just lasts forever oh holy [ __ ] they're huge how many years ago they went extinct sure how many of these things have been capped or collected I'm not too sure don't know how many why bird disappear what does it say human people well yeah I believe it was the humans wasn't horrible humans may not be to blame Oh goddamn pop-ups get us every time Wow immense that's huge though isn't it yeah but do you ever see the ones they had in North America the terror birds no oh [ __ ] they had seven feet tall murderous carnivorous birds that couldn't fly running around North America geez yeah pull up terror Birds Jaime's he's searching overtime in this episode I'm just trying to scare you with all the [ __ ] you see alive these were enormous birds there's one that shows that look at the size of that thing there's one that shows to really go to back to that National Geographic thing that you just had right there Jamie in the middle yeah I think that was like a CGI documentary that they had done on one verse wolves I only well I think there's so much bigger than the wolves they probably hunted them down there's a size comparison there isn't I see next to a human yes there it's far left to say yeah chasing horses and she's imagine my inspiration back then Oh a whole different ballgame wouldn't it oh yeah no it's so much more exciting but dangerous as well you know when you're talking about people that believe in which is and people that believe in witchcraft like back and you almost had to have some belief system to keep you going because you had no idea yeah what was around the next corner so these terror birds were alive I believe when human beings are alive right when did these things when were these things alive if I had a guess I'm gonna guess they died out million years ago half a million years ago 62 to 1.8 million years ago whoa 62 million to 1.8 in temporal range covers from 62 to 1.8 million years ago so I think that's 62 million that's 62 years ago okay so yeah so definitely that dinosaur dinosaur age Cenozoic era so just some kind of monkey chimp type thing was all we had back then yeah I think like that was like Australia Pittacus or something like that what was that what year was that okay yeah I'm overruling yeah that's terrifying you did a camel spider yes where her injects you have like an anesthetic yeah like stories of soldiers waking up half an ear missing because they've been being injected in the middle of the night by this big-ass camel spider size of a dinner plate isn't it what is this Jim mammals of the mice have seen which are I guess the same in the same era so it looks like giant sloths time period that North American bear time period look how small the horses are holy [ __ ] giant sloth thing avital is that's a short-faced bear that's what that is that's that enormous bear you've seen that thing right the short-faced bear short-faced bear I haven't seen no bro short-faced bear was the most terrifying bear in all of history short-faced bear was way bigger than a polar bear and super carnivorous and they think it might have been the thing that kept human beings from successfully navigating the trek through the bering land mass until they went extinct they're huge there's a picture of a guy standing next to a recreation of a short-faced bear and it's it's so big they think people probably hunted them off distinction or they don't they don't really really know to get an image of a short-faced bear yeah it's ridiculous animal I don't even know existed until a few years ago oh this is probably so much that's why that's sappy and I don't know if it goes into the details yeah sapien just go into the details of it go with the one on the far right corner upper right yes that's what it looks like oh you just would not [ __ ] imagine how big that is root isn't it it's like a cartoon comic book version of a bear like you can't believe we're looking at this thing we're literally this thing is standing up these gentlemen let's just assume there's somewhere in the neighborhood of six feet tall this thing is their entire height plus a couple of feet so double their entire height I should say plus a couple of feet that's weird like their their head this thing's standing up and their their heads are like right around where his hip bone is although he is on a little bit of a mountain that's it's pretty close to 14 15 feet maybe yeah but why they have a mountain Mound listen [ __ ] we know he's tall put them on exaggerating you're making it look more ridiculous it's ridiculous as it is without putting him being on a mound yeah why do you have him here you're trying to make it even crazier it's crazy enough but super predatory tastes bad yeah between that and saber-toothed Tigers there was an African lion that used to live here [Applause]
