Looking through ant eyes

Ants' eyes are not like ours. Ants have compound eyes with many units, called ommatidia. Their eyes look like an array of LEDs you'd see in a traffic light (except in a dome shape). Each ommatidium sees one point in space so the whole eye sees one image but different portions of it.

What is the loudest fart ever recorded?

Tortoises and turtles do fart! Farts can range in size and sound just like humans. They will probably not be as loud but they can be just as pungent. The tortoises' diet contributes to their farts as well as the amount of gas build-up they experience during the day.

Can dinosaurs fart?

Scientists Estimate Dinosaurs Passed Enough Gas To Warm Up The Planet : The Two-Way Their flatulence and burps were more than four times that of modern-day cows, scientists estimate.

What animals Cannot burp?

Do ants have hearts?

Ants do not breathe like we do. They take in oxygen through tiny holes all over the body called spiracles. They emit carbon dioxide through these same holes. The heart is a long tube that pumps colorless blood from the head throughout the body and then back up to the head again.

How big is a human fart?

For instance, a 1997 study of 16 Americans found a volume-per-fart range of 17 milliliters to 375 milliliters. Imagine a bottle of nail polish — that's a rough analogy for the volume of the daintiest of poots.
