the fuck is a ualabi.
(Bad example if they mean wallaby, opium is an invasive species and they only eat it out of desperation. A better one would be the chronically addled eucalyptic meth head that is the koala)

Cedar waxwings get drink on fermented mulberries and roll around on the ground.
now i can only think of a group of reindeer in DEA vests fighting another of group of reindeer not wearing DEA vests
What about the birds that get drunk off of fermented cherries and smash into a stuff? We need to do something about these FWIs or nobody will be safe.
I am not sure if I am scared of a high jaguar or want to pet it. Maybe both?
Jaguar to his buddy: "Dude, I was so baked I let a hairless monkey pet me. I got the munchies though, so I ate him."
You know that mountain what where Moses did the thing with the burning bush? Hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Bees also get drunk. If they try to enter the hive while drunk, they get kicked out to sober up
From what I read they don't only get kicked out but absolutely mutilated by ripping their limbs off
Whoa jeez, that wasn't in the documentary I saw but I do see on YT that it happens. Jeez
Maybe that's for the ones with priors
Maybe they were wanting to kill them anyway but were waiting til they couldn't defend themselves
:(
What? No way bats can fly under influence! They are not above the law.
That's why they fly upwards into international space first, duh.
They even make those ads with images from accidents, saying "if you drink, don't fly".
Why is he running, Dad?
Because we have to chase him
This is documentary video of animals on the savannah eating fermented marula is great
the hung over warthog is so relateable!
I was going to recommend the movie this is from, "Animals are Beautiful People"! It's an older Disney produced documentary from the 70s I think. They put a comedic twist on the narraration and add plenty of cartoon sound affects throughout the film
I do not recommend it. Firstly, it's not a Disney movie. It was made by a white South African in South Africa during apartheid.
A lot of it is just made up and some of it is clearly animal abuse. There's no question that a weaver bird nest was set on fire for the movie.
The elephant thing isn't even true. It's staged with creative editing.

Some believe that beer was the trigger to the change from hunter/gatherer to agricultural society.
There's also a stoned ape theory about the cognitive evolution of human consciousness through consumption of psilocybin mushrooms.
thats so epic
Jaguars actually eat the leaves of b. capii, which acts as a MAOI in the Ayahuasca brew.
While there is some discussion that the harmala alkaloids in b. capii might also be slightly psychoactive in high doses, the actual main compound in Ayahuasca is DMT, which is certainly very psychoactive, but not bioavailable when consumed orally without a MAOI. Unless the jaguars have figured out how to combine the two and/or brew ayahuasca, I strongly doubt that's their intention and that they'd get comparable effects.
I think the idea stems from the BBC show Weird Nature showing a jaguar eating yage leaves in episode 6, "Peculiar Potions".
I'm not really sold on how well that content was researched.
Came here for this, I was looking forward to having a Jaguar shaman for my aya ceremony but I guess that's off now
B. caapi is called ayahuasca, as well as being an ingredient in the brew with the same name, so the image is not technically wrong.
Sure. In my opinion, however, the overall context of the image does imply the jaguar enjoys similar effects to those clearly requiring the presence of DMT, as that is what is most people commonly associate with ayahuasca.
It's a bit of a "look at all those animals getting high, this jaguar is even talking to machine elves in the 19th dimension" kinda thing, where - if I remember correctly - they actually consume the leaves for digestive purposes.
Again, the leaves do have an effect, e. g. they apparently act as an SSRI (that's how common antidepressants work) and we can't be absolutely sure about their effect on cats (catnip certainly has some effect on cats we don't readily enjoy), so I can't dismiss the notion of jaguars seeking them out for that reason as well.
The mental images of the consequences of running into, and then having to fight, a jaguar who’s high on ayahuasca is both hilarious and terrifying.
