Still Waters Posted June 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2014 In South Africa, local legend has it that the elephants like to get drunk. They seek out the marula tree, overindulge on its sweet fruits, and enjoy the intoxicating effects of the slightly fermented juice. Elephants aren't the only critters accused of indulging in the occasional cocktail or dose of drugs. Tales are told of wallabies getting high on poppy plants in Australia or dogs reportedly becoming addicted to the toxic substance secreted by cane toads. And stories abound of vervet monkeys on the Carribean island of St. Kitts, sneakily imbibing the brightly coloured cocktails of distracted tourists. http://www.bbc.com/f...mals-take-drugs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merissa Elliott Posted June 8, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Well by golly they sure do! After a long, hard day of casual elephant fights. They all gather around and get boozed up and talk about how Donald Trump stole there land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramelin Posted June 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Soon scientists will discover that animals have fun during sex, and don't do it just to 'spread their DNA'.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
