I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

Makes me wonder why they evolved that way? Usually, the point of a fruit is to get the seeds into the gut, so the animal spreads them afield. Shouldn't the fruit be easily accessible, while the seed is impervious to the stomach acid?
I'm just trying to help here!
While there is very little to read about prehistoric pomegranates, or at the very least google has let me down once again; it seems herbivores larger than humans were likely the "intended" consumers of pomegranates. As such the larger animals would have an easier time eating the fruit. Potentially eating the whole fruit instead of just targeting the seeds like we do. (This seems to mostly be speculation, and probably mostly speculation on my part)
