    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 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)

    The ulabis doesn’t really seem to fit the infographic.

    Eating opium plants when food is scarce doesn’t really fall under the “drug use” category as it seems like it would have to be done.

    The other uses were chosen

    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.”

      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 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.

    “Ualabis”? Is that supposed to be “wallabies”?

    As best I can tell from searching, that’s kind of the Spanish word for “wallabies” (translate gives “ualabies”). Seems like a weird choice.
