Sex-addicted apes on brink of extinction in central Africa


Published March 17, 2012

KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of the Congo -- A species of ape is on the brink of extinction in central Africa, even though the animals are addicted to sex, Sky News reports.

Bonobo apes live in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and often have sex every few minutes.

But because they have quite low fertility, are hunted for their meat and their babies are stolen as pets, their numbers are now perilously low.

The bonobos -- the closest species to humans -- are now classified as "endangered."

Evelyne Peteolot, from Lola Ya Bonobos Sanctuary near Kinshasa, said, "We know that the number of animals is diminishing in dramatic proportions."

Before the years of brutal civil war in the DRC, it was estimated there were around 100,000 bonobo apes. Now it is feared there are around 5,000, along with those housed in a handful of zoos around the world.

Peteolot said the exact number was unknown.

"It is so difficult with all the political problems here to be able to carry out a proper census," she added. "It's a species that will disappear, unfortunately, because this animal only exists [in the wild] here in Democratic Republic of the Congo. If there are no longer any left here, they will no longer be found anywhere. So they will become extinct, which is a real shame."

Japanese Scientists Create Meat From Poop

Anyone up for some poop burgers?

Japanese scientist Mitsuyuki Ikeda from the Okayama Laboratory certainly doesn't believe in human waste.

He thinks that's perfectly good protein you're sending out to sea, and he's found a way to extract it, mix it with steak sauce and create a fecal feast fit for a king.

And despite the downside of having to add soya to bind it all together, Prof Ikeda thinks there's no reason why we shouldn't all tuck into his turd burgers.

Why would he even think of it, you might ask.

Because Tokyo Sewage asked him to. Tokyo is swimming in sewage mud, it seems, and there's only one way it can save itself and that's eat it.

Prof Ikeda found the mud was loaded with protein due to the high bacteria content. Combine it with reaction enhancer and put it in a magical machine called an "exploder" and artificial steak comes out the other end.

According to Digital Trends, it's 63 percent protein, 25 percent carbohydrates, 3 percent lipids and 9 percent minerals.

It's colored red so you don't know it's poo.

"Initial tests have people saying it even tastes like beef," Digital Trends reports.

Prof Ikeda and his colleagues say it's the perfect solution for reducing waste and emissions from flatulent cows.

Which is understandable, because if someone told you that Whopper you just ate was actually made from yesterday's leftover feces, you'd probably be too traumatized to masticate meat ever again.

Of course, there's a hitch - besides the fact it's made from poo and soya. The cost of producing Prof Ikeda's stinky steaks at the moment is about "10 to 20 times" the price of carving it off a cow.

Leave it to the fast food chains to work out the economics. You can't argue the mass production side of the equation is already sorted...

Of course, one of the variety poop burgers will have pieces of corn in it.
