Generally, the larger an animal is, the more resistant to cancer it is, since it’ll have a lot more cells with a lot more chances of getting mutated. Maybe Kong is just built different.
Whales and elephants have cancer suppressing genes, but the article says that there’s evidence that dinosaurs got cancer, so it’s not just size. But hell, if an ape can grow as big as Kong, who’s to say that it wouldn’t also have the cancer suppressing gene?
Honestly Godzilla could’ve just walked away and Kong would’ve died from cancer a couple years later

What? You mean less resistant? I’m so confused

I meant to write “the more resistant it is to counteract having a lot more cells” but fucked it up while editing
