OK so last night/this morning I was initially having a dream that I was watching Beauty and The Beast (whichs I have never even seen lol) then the channel changed and I ended up watching a wildlife documentary...it was so vivid that I was actually able to transcribe most of what I watched (in my dream) and thought that it might amuse some of you to see the inner workings of a sleeping Ez brain.
I give you....

Bananas a study.
Bananas are herbivores and live in small social groups (known as bunches). They are fiercely territorial, many never leave the tree they were born in, and due to a low metabolism (similar to that of the sloth) they do not move far or often within their tree.
Juvenile bananas sport bright green plumage which then changes to bright yellow when they reach sexual maturity, after mating bananas coats become mottled with brown patches and get thinner, eventually turning entirely so dark brown it is almost black before they die.
Bananas are predated upon by a large number of animals from insects, birds and mammals to some reptilian species but even though they have a high rate of predation bananas are prolific breeders and there is little fear of them becoming endangered. Humans will farm them, on large plantations and even breed unusual 'fancy' species similar to the breeding undertaken on canaries in order to win rosettes and trophies.
Bananas, despite their wild origins, have been anthropomorphosised and cartoon bananas have entertained children for years, they are used as educational and marketing tools. Whatever they are used for when out of their wild habitat, there is little doubt that the banana is a little creature that many of us have taken into our hearts and many people keep them in their homes as pets, all the banana needs by way of habitat is a bowl of either wood or pottery, although some people try and create a habitat for them that simulates their natural environment in a tree by providing them with a hook from which to perch upon allowing the banana so share our homes and become a companion to the people who care for them.
Here's to the banana; a brave and versatile little soul!
