And that’s how the Kong Banana Hoard got started.
Curious George has fallen on hard times.
Ooooh … it’s a ape… I thought it’s a comic about Chiquita and how they murdered farmers for their Bananas.
That reminds me of elephants that realized they could block sugar cane trucks on the road and started stealing from them.
Damn… Can’t blame em I would do it too
Still better than riding with Hitler
That depends… if I tell him, “ass, gas or grass,” will he ask me if I mean Zyklon B?
Love it!
Gotta point out that, though, that most primates don’t eat a lot of bananas. The species that really seems to love bananas is homo sapiens. I worked at a grocery store for several years, and saw the sales numbers. Bananas are the biggest seller, and it’s not even close. They outsell whole categories of other products.
Fun fact: In 1989 the people of Eastern Germany (also known as GDR or DDR) started a revolution because the communist government was unable to provide them with sufficient amounts of bananas.
Yeah, it’s crazy you never see bonobos at the grocery store!
Might depend on geography.
They have other suppliers 😏
It’s the only cheap fruit that I can use to make cake if it ripens too much.
As a banana-hater, I have never felt closer to my fellow great apes.
Banana hater? How?
That’s a strange question… I guess I accomplish hating bananas by either putting them in my mouth and spitting them out because I hate the taste or passing by some and scrunching up my nose because I hate the smell.
You’re a MONSTER!
No, I’m a squid.
Classic gorilla heist mistake, always let them drive
Wait, but doesn’t Max only have 4 fingers (ot 8)? Wtf is he jumping to 6
Danged hyperkinetic rabbity thing
NOW LISTEN UP! Do exactly what I say and I won’t throw my poop at you!
Shhhhure, what would you have us do?
Lemme hear you say
“This shit is bananas”
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
“This shit is bananas”
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Again!
“This shit is bananas”
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
“This shit is bananas”
B-A-N-A-N-A-SI was thinking maybe he would have them sing Harry Chapin.
I went to a national park and they had bison. I had the very awkward conversation about why bison are protected now, with my young children.
Humans are awful
E: I realize I’m very lost lmfao. This was supposed to be a reply to another post but I had too many tabs open.
Fuck.
A reminder that a sleep deprived brain is not your friend
The humans that worked hard to get them protected and to make a significant comeback seem alright.
Fair, but the restoration is a pittance compared to what the herds used to be like. Granted, I wouldn’t want to step out of my house and be trampled by a bison because there were so many of them, but still, it was a tremendous upset to a natural system, and systematic genocide to boot. Nothing much to like about how it all happened.
I read an interesting hypothesis a few months ago that the vast herds of bison were actually due to indigenous Americans being killed off by disease due to European settlers. They were no longer managing the land, so the grasses took over and the bison population exploded.
Obviously, there were still far more bison than there are today, but possibly not the massive herds of thousands that colonists reported seeing on their way west.
That’s an incorrect hypothesis. Tall grass prairie, while definitely manipulated by indigenous people, doesn’t really require management; it’s the climax community for the biome. Further, fringe areas, like parkland, actually encroach on grasslands, not the other way around.
Grasses are disturbance specialists, and prairie has a natural and short fire cycle that maintains this disturbance. Take away the disturbance and you get woody species coming in on the fringe areas. In this regard, First Nations would burn parkland to create more area for grassland. If their population were declining, the lack of management would result in less bison habitat, not more.
E: I’m hilariously lost with the original comment - everyone point and laugh please. Lmao.
Praires absolutely do require management. Floods and fires can and do lead to critical endangerment of plants and animals.
Overgrazing wildlife also need to be controlled with predators who in turn often need to be contained to prevemt damage to human settlements or overpopulation leading to periods of death and disease for the animals.
In theory if you have well suited animals to fill each role, wide open replacement habitats for migrating to in emergency, and no invasive pest problems; it could be self sufficient, but thats pretty much never going to be the case.
Ok
