Under the Influence

WALLABIES

In 2009, a group was found snacking on opium poppies in Australia, legally grown to make medicine. Lara Giddings, who was attorney general of Tasmania, told a parliamentary hearing that the wallabies would get “high as a kite” and hop in circles.

JAGUARS

The large Amazonian feline has been documented eating the hallucinogenic yagé vine–used to make the psychoactive drug ayahuasca–and behaving like a kitten on catnip.

BIG-HORN SHEEP

Some have been spotted acting ill or loony after eating psychoactive lichen in the Canadian Rockies–and even straying from their herd to get more, which is highly unusual behavior.
