For those saying Figure or it didn't happen, from the paper
That's one chimp's kink, not a trend.
Also, I did not expect to write that sentence.
"Meanwhile, in the other group, a male named Juma was identified as the possible innovator of the daring new grass-in-butt variation, which spread to most of his group mates within a week, according to the study."

A couple others tried, but it's Juma's thing
Seems like grass-in-rectum is not a hit
It is with Juma
