The results from the volunteers concluded that it took an average of 252 licks to reach it. My first answer was from a licking machine some guys  put together, what will they think of next?

 The last one was killed in Tulare County in August 1922, more than 20 years before the authority to regulate the take of fish and wildlife was delegated to the California Fish and Game Commission by the State Legislature.

The last one spotted. Good try, close, but not correct.

The last known physical specimen of a California grizzly was shot and killed in Fresno County in 1922. Two years later, the last wild California grizzly was spotted several times in Sequoia National Park and then never seen again. Civilized man had made California’s official animal officially extinct by 1924. http://www.valleycenterhistory.org/Grizzly.htm

the palm civet just happens to like to ingest the ripest and reddest coffee beans, which also happen to be the ones best for brewing.  The cat eats the outer covering of the beans in the same way that is accomplished by de-pulping machines.  Something happens to the beans in the journey through the cat's intestines that gives it a flavor that is celebrated by coffee drinkers. 


so its unique because it is pooped out before harvest.   Kopi Luwak
