Extremely interesting field of research. It makes me think about starting a research on the preferences (or lack of) of hallucinogenic plants on rabbits. My pet rabbit is willing to try it !!!!!!!

Field workers in the Pacific Northwest have contibuted additional data, and have priority on this critical question.

Bear drinks 36 cans of favorite beer

This semanish study was limited by field conditions and the danger of chatting with a drunk bear.

Jeffrey K McKee — Probably pandas like beer, too. They’re warming up for the big experiment.

It will surely be a thorough experiment:

Barley beer, rye beer, wheat beer…

Sure, why not try bamboo beer as well.

Look at the definitive results from the bears like beer experiment!

The Panda’s Thumb is the virtual pub of the University of Ediacara. The patrons gather to discuss evolutionary theory, critique the claims of the antievolution movement, defend the integrity of both science and science education, and share good conversation.

Pub, beer, need I say more?

I can confirm that their discovery is likely general to all dogs. My dog also likes beer… We may be on our way to building a model for canine consumption.
