Wild Orangutans self-medication study

Something pretty wild turned up in observations of Wild Orangutans: they keep mixing and eating particular plants, over and over, and those same plants are tied to healing and bringing down inflammation. What that hints at is how an animal might handle getting sick or hurt on its own, without anyone stepping in. And it opens a window into animal self-medication, which is a whole area researchers are still piecing together. The attached image is AI Generated #Wildlife
