Fun fact: some fruit evolved to be eaten by mega fauna, giant animals, that no longer exist because uh we ate them. One of those is Avocado. A pit that is way too big to be eaten by fauna of current day size.

    Thus is fake news. The avocado mega fauna was a footnote in an old paper that wasn't anything beyond spitballing.
