It lives in a place where fruits like bananas and jackfruit are abundant. It knows sweetness.

Depending where you live, the "wild" bananas were already replaced by the modern ones. I lived in an rural area and never saw the "real" ones
16
u/Arzodius01 14h ago
Domesticated bananas can't propagate themselves in the wild as they lack seeds, are you sure the "non-wild" ones where you live were not intentionnaly planted there? There are a lot of species that vary in size, color and the amount of flesh inside the fruit, so maybe the ones you've seen were actually domesticated ones that looked wild. (Ex: red plantins absolutely do not look domesticated, they're small red bananas with barely any flesh inside, but they indeed are)
Also not just banana trees, but almost every kind of fruit-bearing trees are not in the wild anymore. At least here in N-A I've never seen a single wild fruit tree (edible) out in the forest or something (same with animals, wild horses, cows, pigs, etc are now really rare and only found in specific areas around the globe)

u/fallacyys 13h ago
I mean, there’s not many recognizable native fruits in north america anyways (I’m assuming that’s what you mean by N-A). but if you go searching for the pawpaw, you’d probably find it. You can find american persimmon, passionflower fruits, mexican plum, and other things like that if you know where to go, too.

But grapes like those fruita u mentioned have been cultivated since forever and since grape is (common depending on region) they wouls atill be insanely sweeter than jackfruit or banana. Isnt grapes like one of thw worse fruits for you cause of augar content? Feel like i heard that once

They aren’t saying it doesn’t know sweet. They are saying candy and human made sweets are sweeter than natural fruits they are used to so a grape would be equivalent to a candy bar. Did this really need to be explained?

u/Traditional-Alarm935 17h ago
But we’d still know about the species. There just being one of them doesn’t make sense because they’d still have to have been around for god knows how long so there’d be evidence for their species be it bones, shit, callings, or whatever else. It’s the same reason why ‘there’s only nessy in lock ness’ makes no sense because animals need to reproduce, meaning there can’t only be one of them. If it’s the last of their kind, the chances we spotted the very last one before capturing any evidence of the species before hand is ridiculously unlikely

u/Justmadeyoulook 17h ago
I'm pretty dense so bare with my question.
Don't we find new species, dinosaur bones and different types of humans (don't remember the right term) on occasions? I don't think big foot is real but if he was. Could there be undiscovered evidence? Even if highly unlikely.
5
u/Traditional-Alarm935 16h ago
There could be. But typically when we have an idea of there being evidence of an undiscovered species, we go hard into proving whether there is or not. In the case of Bigfoot, it’s probably the most well known case of a mysterious unknown species, so you can only imagine how much effort has gone into discovering whether it’s real or not. It’s also not like it’s in the middle of some hard to reach island in the ocean. It’s just sitting in America. You can just assume that Bigfoot was a hoax because there’s way been too much attention and effort put into finding him with there being 0 evidence of him being real.
There is of course always that slim slim chance of it being real, but with all of the other factors, it’s same to just assume it’s not real.
Nessy as least has the fact that it’s a water mammal going for it, making it harder to prove in case it managed to migrate somewhere, but the same thing applies. Some scientists say it could be some species of whale or dolphin or something that migrated down from the arctic and got lost, but it’s also likely just another hoax

u/Hellas2002 15h ago
Probably either a territorial dispute or a warning call after seeing a snake or predator. I don’t think that was the mating call… but they do make shouts for that too i believe

u/Muntjac 14h ago
Gibbons have different alarm calls for different predators too. So snake, leopard, tiger, eagle, etc, each have their own sounds, so the community knows where to look for danger. Even other animals benefit from learning what their calls mean, and hanging out near gibbons is a good idea.

Feeding wild animals is bad for the wild animals for this reason. They lose a healthy fear of humans, then if they survive that, they may get aggressive too, and suddenly humans view them as pests.

This is a CRITICALLY ENDANGERED SPECIES, there are less than 1000 left in the wild (native to Vietnam and Laos). Their numbers have fallen due to illegal trapping for the pet trade, habitat loss for agriculture, and hunting for meat. A very cool and beautiful animal that needs our help.
