There’s an urban legend that koalas spend their entire lives drunk because the eucalyptus leaves they subsist on ferment inside them, though maybe that’s just because they look a bit dopey.
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)

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
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.

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.
honestly basically any animal that eats fruit will end up drunk at some point, a classic children’s story here in sweden has a scene where their chickens get drunk, and it’s pretty regular fare to hear about moose getting drunk on fermented apples from peoples’ back yards.
Cedar waxwings get drink on fermented mulberries and roll around on the ground.
Amarula logo. Not a bad liquor at all.
The Catnip police coming to jail your cat.
Leemurs provoke centipedes to make them excrete their defensive toxin, but then the lemurs just use that toxin to get high and repel mosquitos.
The word just is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Get high and repel mosquitos?
Sign me up!
Is there a reason we haven’t tried this narcotic fungi?
Shrooms are great, why not try other 'gi?
Based on a cursory Google search with the terms “bighorn sheep”+“Psychoactive fungi” it would seem they are referring to rumors of a psychoactive lichen that have not been formally identified.
-secondly, you don’t want to eat Amanita Muscaria aka fly agaric mushrooms unless you have thorough knowledge of what you’re doing. It contains a hepatotoxic compound (hence the deer piss reference in someone else’s comment) -and it should not be confused with the Psilocybin containing mushrooms AKA magic mushrooms. They do different things in the brain—The more you know 🌈 🌟

Humans actually do, but they do it by drinking the reindeer piss after the reindeer have eaten it.
I imagine it’s either there’s a chemical in the new fungi that specifically makes the rams high but not us or there is something in there that doesn’t affect them but is toxic to us
now i can only think of a group of reindeer in DEA vests fighting another of group of reindeer not wearing DEA vests
I remember reading that the Sami people used to drink the piss of a reindeer that had eaten fly agaric/fly amanita mushrooms since even though they’re poisonous, most of the poison gets left in the reindeer while the nice hallucinogenic stuff passes through. Wikipedia put it a bit differently:
Patrick Harding describes the Sami custom of processing the fly agaric through reindeer.
Processing does sound nicer.
I remember reading about this too (cannot remember where exactly. It was a long time ago) and how that practice helped shape the idea of Santa’s flying reindeer.
And there are monkeys that steal drinks from beach resorts.
What’s really interesting is that study was made and the distribution of social drinkers, nice drunks, mean drunks, etc, roughly matches that of the humans.
I mean it’s not really that surprising. We are pretty similar to apes (and maybe monkeys?) socially.
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.
Why is he running, Dad?
Because we have to chase him
They even make those ads with images from accidents, saying “if you drink, don’t fly”.
