Book 2: Jack the Bodiless
- Ch 10After the Intervention the world's surviving 64 Gigantopithecus were resettled in the Reserve; by 2043 nearly two hundred, a Galactic Treasure with telepathic auras similar to operant humans.
- Ch 17Megapods are big apes that probably enter the Ape Lake basin through the southeastern notch. Rogatien suspects they might raid the food cache.
- Ch 20Rogi and Teresa watch for Bigfeet but found only one footprint and an occasional rank stench; none appeared.
- Ch 22Bigfoot is an endangered, telepathic, innocent-minded giant primate; one at Ape Creek Canyon cried out joyfully at the aurora.
