Rick Schwartz, ambassador and keeper for the San Diego Zoo, dug into his memories of the worst farts he has ever encountered to select the sea lion as the number the producer of the foulest wind on earth.

Does a spider fart?

Since the stercoral sac contains bacteria, which helps break down the spider's food, it seems likely that gas is produced during this process, and therefore there is certainly the possibility that spiders do fart.

Why can't kangaroos fart?

In the 1970s and 1980s, research suggested kangaroos don't produce much of the gas due to low-methane-producing bacteria called "Archaea" living in their guts.

Do snakes fart?

As weird as it might sound, snakes pass gas once in a while. This means it'll be normal to notice your pet snake farting once in a while.

Can butterflies fart?

Do Butterflies Fart? Like most other animals, butterflies fart. While they don't eat solid foods, they often swallow air while sipping their foods which builds up gas in them, and of course, the build-up results in something you could call a fart.

Do giraffes fart?

No one seems to know if aliens or badgers can fart or not, but giraffes and sloths sure can.

Do rhinos fart?

Rhinos are very windy, and can pass particularly noxious gas. Their farts can smell so bad, they have led to brewing terminology, when yeast used in fermentation produces hydrogen sulphide and gives off a horrible sulphur smell – it's known as a rhino fart.

Did rabbits fart?

Do crabs fart?

Rats, zebras and bearded dragons are also among Those Creatures That Fart. Birds, on the other hand, do not seem to have a biological need for passing gas, but they could let one rip, theoretically. Marine invertebrates such as oysters, mussels and crabs? Alas, they are whoopee-impaired.

Can a dog smell a human fart?

Dogs have a hugely sensitive sense of smell, and just as we found some gaseous emissions repulsive, so can dogs. A sensitive dog may even get up and walk away from the bad smell, which is positive proof that dogs can detect the sulfurous odor of flatulence.

What animals Cannot burp?

Squirrels can't burp or vomit… ie they have a mean gag reflex!

Do 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.

Does an elephant fart?

Likewise, horses fart so much because their diet is mostly plant-based, and their fibrous food gets digested through fermentation in the back half of their digestive tract. (Elephants and rhinos do this too.)

Can dolphins fart?

Yes, dolphins, like humans and other animals, fart or pass gas. Farting is a trait that is common among all mammals. By passing gas, dolphins, humans, and other animals can expel trapped air and toxic fumes accumulated in their stomachs.

Can a turtle fart?

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.

Do sharks fart gas?

Yes. Often when they gulp air from the surface it is expelled through the cloaca along with gases produced from bacteria in their digestive tract.

Do flies fart?

You may find this incredible but flies do fart, from time to time. Much like humans, they also produce gas during digestion, although it isn't clear whether they do it from their anuses.

Do butterflies be drunk?

They do. A lot. Butterflies, for instance, enjoy a good brew, says Katy Prudic, an entomologist at the University of Arizona: “I've gotten butterflies out of beer cans before." Males likely drink beer to boost their spermatophores, nutrient-rich packages that they give to females as a nuptial gift, Prudic says.

Do earthworms fart?

Do Worms Fart? Worms don't fart; at least not in the way that humans and some animals do. However, they do eject trapped gas and this is connected to their breathing system as opposed to their digestive system.
