A series of 'hearing is nausea' defense mechanisms of animals

Hidden in feces, vomiting on the enemy's face . are 1-0-2 self-defense mechanisms of animals.

In the natural world, almost every animal has its own tricks to survive. Some creatures are also "masters" of defense with extremely "secret" escape secrets. Let's take a look at some of these animals through the article below.

1. Sea cucumbers - separate organs from the body

Sea cucumber is a very popular animal in many parts of the world. However, few people know that they have a "gruesome" defense mechanism based on their self-replicating ability.

Sea cucumbers release organs from the body.

When threatened, sea cucumbers can release part of the organs through the anus by strongly contracting the muscles. These organs often contain mucus containing a rather toxic form of chemical called holothurin, which causes most of their enemies to falter.

In particular, after escaping, the lost organs of sea cucumbers can regenerate themselves.

2. Furry frog - amphibian version of the werewolf: self-fracturing the toe bone

Hairy fog has a scientific name of Trichobatrachus robustus . The reason this frog has a rather special name - "frog fur" because their bodies are covered with a fancy coat.

Unlike ordinary frogs with skin, this frog's fur acts as a carrier of the fish, helping them to breathe easily in the water.

Fur frogs with sharp "claws".

However, the most special feature of hairy frogs is in self-defense. This frog has a self-defense mechanism like Wolverine's werewolf in heterosexual film, which breaks down the toe bones to pierce the skin, turning them into sharp claws.

Specifically, they have small bones that are hidden under the tips of the toes. Normally, these nails are secured with strong collagen fibers, but when threatened, the frog will break this joint and push the nail out. After the nail is retrieved, the damaged tissue will regenerate itself.

3. Spanish Newts - self-defense with . ribs

Spanish ribbed newt is a reptile that mainly inhabits Central and Southern Morocco. They have a modest appearance with a length of only 20cm, but the scientific community pays special attention due to its ability to make sharp ribs pierce through the skin, forming a thorny layer to protect the body.

Small Spanish newts but with very good defense mechanisms.

These ribs, in the process of being taken out, will be covered with a toxic layer from a part of the body, making their weapons more beneficial.

In addition, Spanish newts have a very good immune system, which helps their skin to heal quickly and never become infected.

Red arrows are exposed bones.

However, not everyone knows about the self-defense mechanism of this particular animal. According to some previous theories, Spanish newts may shrink the muscles so that the ribs crash out. However, a recent study by Austrian and Australian scientists concluded that this newts sought to turn their ribs until the sharp point of the bone pierced the skin.

4. Grain beetle - self-defense with the motto "humiliation is more deadly"

Even in extreme cases, certainly none of us defends ourselves by covering our bodies with . our feces. However, that's what corn beetle (Cereal leaf beetle) makes to survive in harsh natural environments.

Cereals with impressive appearance.

Corn beetles have an eye-catching appearance thanks to their shiny wings and red orange body. They are very harmful insects for agriculture. But besides, cereal beetles are also well known in the field of insects due to the self-defense . very unsanitary.

Inside the mucous membrane are all . larvae of the larvae.

In particular, during the time of being larvae, this beetle covers itself with a plastic with a major component . their droppings. The reason is that the larvae of cereal beetle are white and yellow, it looks equally impressive as an adult. The creation of this "shield" class can help them obscure their outstanding colors from natural predators.

5. Northern Fulmar Seagull - vomiting on the enemy

North Seagull Fulmar has the scientific name Fulmarus glacialis , living mainly in the waters of the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.

This seagull has a gentle appearance, but its defense is not "gentle" at all. When you feel threatened by anything - whether an eagle or just an impersonal bird - they will immediately . vomit against the intruder.

This liquid is actually a nutrient-rich solution, used by seagulls Fulmar as a nutrient for young children, or a fuel source for mature individuals when traveling long distances.

Fulmar's "deadly" beach.

However, the gulls of this seagull have an extremely unpleasant dead fish smell, while also making their victims unable to fly.

Not only that, when the victims of seagulls landed in the water, they would drown because the vomit had disabled the lifebuoy function of the fur.
