In a clip from the BBC episode of "Peculiar Potions,” a jaguar appears to be experiencing the hallucinogenic effects of yage (Banisteriopsis caapi), a vine that contains harmaline and other beta carbolines.

Jaguars are not the only ones who enjoy the effects of the vine's leaves. B. caapi is also used by natives of the Peruvian rainforest during ritual ceremonies involving ayahuasca. In addition, the plant is used as a purgative to cleanse the body of parasites and help the digestive tract.

Yes there are animals that will ingest certain psychoactive substances but: Is there any proof that jaguars really consume caapi vine and is there any proof that caapi vine will give them some kind of psychoactive experience?

The only source for this claim I ever saw was in that famous video which looks very staged and selectively edited, I dont know how trustable it is .

Maybe that video was staged. Maybe it wasnt but it was a coincidence (and/or selectively edited) and jaguars dont specially eat ayahuasca any more than they eat basically any plant. Maybe jaguars do eat caapi but they dont have any psychoactive experience from it and there's another reason for it. Or maybe they do eat and have a psychoactive experience.

I dont know what is the truth, but I do know better than to prematurely jump into conclusions that "jaguars as a norm love to trip on ayahuasca" just from watching that one video
