The real science

The creature is invented. These parts are real.

Chimpanzee: Humans and chimpanzees differ by only about 1.2% across the DNA sequences that line up between the two species. Smithsonian Human Origins Program
Banana: Bananas are faintly radioactive from their potassium-40. Scientists teach radiation doses with a unit called the banana equivalent dose, about 0.1 microsieverts. Wikipedia
