My friend Tim lived in Costa Rica for almost five years. He confirms not just that our simian relatives eat bananas, but also how they eat them:
“As I remember, they ate them upside down. Used their teeth to pull apart the peel. Bigger monkeys would bite chunks off or/and the smaller monkeys would break off chunks with both hands and sit and nibble or chomp away at the prized package in their hands. Actually it would be cool to get a small video of this on your site. Err…dont mean to tell you what ot do, I just remember it being real cute to watch.”
Your wish is my command, amigo:

Tim, by the way, owns a really cool bike shop in Platteville, Wisconsin.
