In South America, jaguars seek out the roots of Yage (banisteriopsis caapi), a vine containing the hallucinogenic chemical harmaline and other beta carbolines, used by natives in a ritualistic ceremony involving Ayahuasca. (It's one of the two ingredients, the other usually contains DMT.) Jaguars gnaw on the them until they start to hallucinate. Jaguars love to get high. It's widespread and observable in the South American forests.​

This is an interesting clip from the "Peculiar Potions" episode of BBC's series "Weird Nature".

Can’t remember if an egg is fresh or hard boiled? Just spin the egg. If it wobbles, it’s raw. If it spins easily, it’s hard boiled. A fresh egg will sink in water, a stale one will float.

I quite like Brazil nuts and often eat a couple when enjoying a handful of mixed nuts, so I found this a little disconcerting. Turns out a lot of common foods - bananas, carrots and potatoes included - are radioactive. Bottom line is that we can eat these foods in moderation without worrying we'll start to glow in the dark.
Phew!
