Danuvius guggenmosi

Danuvius guggenmosi is an extinct great ape that lived 11.6 million years ago in the Middle to Late Miocene of southern Germany, in a seasonal woodland. It is the only member of its genus, and both genus and species were described in November 2019. A male was estimated at about 31 kilograms and two females at 17 and 19 kilograms. It is the first Late Miocene great ape found with long bones preserved, allowing its limbs to be reconstructed. Its discoverer Madelaine Bohme argues it combined hanging in trees with walking on two legs, a mode she calls extended limb clambering, although other researchers think the fragmentary remains do not show this.
