Did you know the famous monkeys of Gibraltar are eating dirt? ππ² It turns out, human junk food is giving them terrible stomach aches, and they are using mud as a natural medicine!
In this video, we explore the bizarre but fascinating science of "geophagy." When tourists feed the wild Barbary macaques chips, sweets, and other processed human foods, it totally wrecks their digestive systems. To cope with the indigestion, upset stomachs, and toxins, these clever primates have figured out that eating specific types of clay and dirt acts exactly like a natural Pepto-Bismol!
Watch to learn how nature adapts to human interference, and why you should NEVER feed wild animals your snacks! ππ«
