Literal vs. Metaphorical vs. Imaginary

When you go fishing, do you bait your hook for megalodon? When you meet gigantopithecus on the sidewalk, an ape that towers over you and weighs half a ton, is your first thought “Let’s wrestle”? Wow, just like Putin! If you grapple with such extinct giants and love to talk about it, then you are fully qualified. Sign up as a Republican presidential candidate today!

clue:

Megalodon is an extinct giant shark estimated to be 3 or 4 times the length of a great white shark. Do you fish with a cable and a crane?

Gigantopithecus is a genus of extinct apes. It is only known from teeth and jaws, but the largest species may have been as much as 3 meters tall and over 500 kg.
