Kerala: This sounds like straight out of a sci-fi flick. Amateur anthropologists have found evidence that a King Kong-like creature once inhabited Kerala.

A giant-sized footprint measuring 3 ft in length has been found in a remote village, 60 kilometers away from Palakkad town in Kerala.

The "Big foot", as it's being called, anthropologists say belonged to a pre-historic man.

Going by the size of the footprint, the anthropologists are hazarding a guess that the man was at least 17-feet-tall with a body weight of 400 kilogram making him the largest human form on earth known to man.

Villagers also discovered a cave, which they believe was home to this giant.

The cave has some smaller sets of footprints as well and has become a sight of worship for the local villagers.
