Do animals 'drop bombs'? A scientist risked his experience and got a stinking end
We already know enough about the "fart" of humans, but what about other animals?
Life does not anticipate anything. For example, one day when going home, the scientist brother Dani Rabaiotti asked her if the snake had "or not".
Before the difficult question of her brother, Dani did not know how to answer. But as an environmentalist who teaches at University College London, she does not allow herself to ignore that true scientific question. Very quickly, Dani took this question on Twitter and specially sent a message to her friend, a snake expert - David Steen.
The answer has been sent back and we will know it right away. But it is worth mentioning that people start asking if fish knows "deflated", how about flowers and dinosaurs?
Netizens were quick to use the hashtag #doesitfart (meaning "It doesn't work") to challenge science. Ms. Dani was once again brave to seek answers with her partner Nick Caruso. " Those special scents made us sit together, " Mr. Caruso said.
Now we come to the most appealing part: Will animals "drop bombs"?
Sea lions and seals: "The scent flies away"
"Having been in contact with these two species in some previous fieldwork, I reassured them that they dropped the bombs very badly, " said Rabaiotti.
Behind a seal / fat sea lion is a very . heavy scent.
We can deduce that when diving, it is very difficult for Rabaiotti to climb up to breathe and that suffering is admirable!
A fish in Mexico: Drop bombs or die?
Never before have we thought dropping bombs was such a vital issue until we found the endemic fish in Mexico called Bolson pupfish.
If they do not drop bombs, gas builds up in the body, causing small animals to bulge, float to the surface of the water and be a prey for birds right away!
For this fish, being bombed is a happiness.
In other cases, gas can also explode causing fish to die. This is really a "bomb explosion" story before or after, but just one wrong one is gone . a lifetime!
But don't "hold on", many fish species don't drop bombs
If you speak, goldfish will say the same. Although they have bacteria that produce gas in the gut, they don't usually "fart". Conversely, they release gas by "burping" to the mouth!
The "multitasking" mouth is not just for eating but also . "release air".
The researchers also recommend that if you see your goldfish "dropping bombs" they are having digestive problems.
You may think bad about sloths, but they don't "drop bombs".
Although also mammals, sloths do not "drop bombs" like many other animals. Instead, they also choose to release methane by mouth.
It is very lazy to eat which way to release air to that road ?!
Some birds: too fast to "bomb"
Gas also loses to birds because they eat and digest so quickly, there is not enough time to accumulate gas and so the bird does not "drop rotten bombs".
"Keeping your head up, moving forward and leaving nothing behind" is the bird's motto.
On the contrary, the newspaper ran very fast but could not escape its own "stench"
The scent of the newspaper is the last thing the animals in the forest want.
Newspapers eat raw meat, especially antelope. These foods increase the fermentation process in the gut of the leopard and therefore, they can also produce the stench of an entire sky.
Elephant: big and .
Extremely rotten! The manager must even give elephants a separate diet to reduce their stinking. That is eating roasted garlic rice.
Both the size and the scent are "not medium", the maximum form!
The reason for elephant's "characteristic aroma" is that they eat too much indigestible things like bark, so the elephant's digestive system works very long and contains many bacteria.
Based on the size of the elephant, even if you go to the zoo, you should also pay attention not to close to the elephant's tail without "getting enough"!
And the source of all questions: the snake
The Dark Lord's pet is a scary animal.
Sonoran Coral snakes live in southern America and Mexico using "bombing" as a defense mechanism. They release gas through a so-called "vent hole" that keeps the enemy away.
