Giant Sloth
The closest being we have to king king Kong is the Megatherium, the giant sloth. It was a type of sloth that was able to grow 6 meters tall and weighed about 4 tones. It spent most of its life walking on all 4 limbs but was able to stand up on two legs to reach higher parts of the tree to eat, or to intimate predictors or other sloths.
It was native to south America and went extinct about 10,000 years ago.
