Once a moose was in my cousins town in Alaska a few years back, which is pretty normal, but it ate some old pumpkins and crabapples and apparently got drunk and started fucking shit up and trying to fight people
Ayahuasca -> Banisteriopsis Caapi (contains harmala alkaloids, which are MAO inhibitors). Jaguars do not know how to mix DMT-containing herbs with MAOI containing herbs in a low temperature boiling pot. I don’t even know how humans hundreds of years ago figured that out. Definitely an important clarification–these cats are NOT meeting God.
This wasn’t clear to me in the comment, but Caapi is the MAOI. Chacruna leaf has the the DMT.
Maybe they’re vaping it?
…
…Yeah, maybe
don’t forget dolphins who chew on one of þe deadliest poisons in þe world (pufferfish) to get high and pass it around like a fish bong
I assume this causes the pufferfish to expire?
I ask because it makes me think of those toads you can lick. Psychoactive substances that are derived from animals are a pretty rare category, and ones that can be attained without harming the animal are an even smaller category within that. So its an interesting thing to think about.
expire
You mean die?
You mean die?
I think they mean “unalive”
They’re asking if the biochemical processes that allow it to function cease in a way that is detrimental to the organisms continued existence
It doesn’t actually, just traumatised, dolphin know how much they can take without dying themselves
Ive seen honeybees flock to the rotten fruit at an apple orchard near me and they do, in fact, get adorably drunk.
Drunk bees get their legs broken by the hive bouncers. It’s tough out there.
Cedar waxwings do something similar - their favorite food is juniper berries, and usually by the time they’re migrating and need to eat a lot, those juniper berries are fermenting on the bush or have dropped off. I’ve seen bunches of these idiots just rolling around too drunk to fly.
Weird, for me it’s the other way around
I’m unable to fly, that makes me sad so i get drunk and roll around on the ground
MST3K 822 - “Overdrawn at the Memory Bank”
I remembered these drunk animals but had totally forgotten it was from watching MST3K.
Why “Ualabis”? Strange that it’s the only word not in English.
its a wallaby https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallaby
Yes I understand that, but why is it in a different language.
Probably the aboriginal word for it? Like how what used to be known as Ayer’s Rock is now called Uluru
Wallaby is wollabi in Dharug. This seems to be Spanish?
I think this person is just noting that only one animal here is referred to by its non-English name, and wondering why, since presumably all these animals have indigenous names
I didn’t know these fun facts about animals using drugs! Neat
Getting high is an essential part of experiencing the world.
