Feel like a koala today!

Do Koalas get ‘drugged out’ on eucalyptus leaves?​


No. There is a common misconception that Koalas get ‘drugged out’ or ‘high’ on eucalyptus leaves and that’s why they sleep a lot. This myth possibly arose as a way of explaining why Koalas sleep for up to 22 hours a day. They need more sleep than most animals because eucalyptus leaves contain toxins and are very low in nutrition and high in fibrous matter so they take a large amount of energy to digest. Sleeping for long periods is a strategy for conserving energy. Koalas and gliders are the only mammals which can tolerate the toxins in gumleaves but fortunately they don’t make them ‘high’ or ‘drugged out’.

I hear Guinea Pigs will have a heart attack if startled.
Interesting


The whole world is cursed. It must all be made anew.
The worst one is the bee, they don't drink fermented nectar on purpose but they get the most horrifying death

Many animals eat fermented fruits to get drunk. There are also many accounts of monkeys having strictly planned out plots to steal tourists' and consumers' beers.

I am not a disciplinarian, so I kinda let him do what he wants. Plus, it's fine since he takes after me. I steal blood, ya know?
Lemme guess what's happening

Monkey steals the tourist's drink, the tourist chases after him to get the drink back, you ambush the tourist and drink their alcohol filled blood, then your son and you both fly off drunk to the sunset
