Bad Primate

Do you know why I say Bamboo Lemur boys are mean to their girls?
This type of Lemur (a primate) eats the young shoots of bamboo which contain cyanide. The females go out and find these shoots and rip them open which is no small feat. In fact it's such a loud process the males stand guard because the females can't hear over their own chewing din. After all the work getting to the prize, the males run over, jump on the female and take it away. Bastards.
