Not, as you might expect, wild monkey sex, but rather, a bird (avian) Phalacrocorax carunculatus, native to New Zealand. Also commonly known as the rough-faced shag, there are only a few hundred left thanks to over-zealous egg collectors and irresponsible tourists, so be careful with them.

Also disappointing is the pipe tobacco bit. Rough shag is a kind of tobacco, often preferred by pipe smokers. It is, as the name suggests, not as finely cut as, say cigarette tobaccos are. Drum tobacco proudly announces itself as being halfzwaar shag, "medium cut" (being Dutch for "half-heavy" thanks, SharQ!)
