This is soooo off-topic, it's even off-topic for off-topic!
While thinking I need to spray some of my plants with hot pepper sauce because my cat has been munching on them, not only damaging them, but getting sick himself, I mused on how the hot pepper (like jalapeños, habaneros, etc.) evolved.
I thought fruits were supposed to get animals to eat them so their seeds, which pass through the gut intact, get spread far and wide along with a side of fertilizer too! So why would a plant evolve a fruit that seems to be almost inedible to any animal besides humans who can use them sparingly as a spice?
Is there an animal that actually likes to eat really hot peppers whole and raw off the plant?
