Apparently among some species, the price for bananas is quite high.

Female Chimpanzees 'Sell' Sex For Fruit
Yeah, and lady chimps give it up for "bad boy" chimps.
Yes, that was documented in "The American Scientist" by tow lady scientists.
And they did include some commentary as to their puzzlement on why
the female chimps would "give it up" for one real "bad bly" chimp.
I nearly broke a rib laughing at their scholarly and naive comments.
And said to myself: these are two scientists that obviously
didn't have a social life in high school.
