Best Answer

It is very difficult to peel an unripe banana, and those that are too green can cause upset stomach. Thus simians tend to pick ripe bananas to eat, which are easily peeled by bending the stem up and backwards from the fruit and removing the entire strip. It is then easy to flip the entire fruit out of the remaining skin, like you've seen in the movies.

They do not peel them like we humans do because they don't care about getting a bit of sticky mess on their hands. Further, they cannot turn their hands very much from a palms-down facing position. The bone structure of their foreamrs is different than humans, and is occasionally cited as the reason we developed higher intelligence than our early ancestors because we could turn objects over to inspect them.

How is an ecosystem maintained?

An Ecosystem is maintained by the balance if nature such as the balances between hawks and mice. If one if larger or smaller than the other one, then its not balanced. Like if there are too much hawks and they eat all the mice out, the hawks have nothing to eat and die out. Or they are balanced between resources, like a banana tree and monkeys. If the banana trees stop growing the monkeys have nothing to eat.
