Some Animals Can’t Fart!​

Passing gas might be an everyday occurrence for us, but not all creatures share the experience. While most mammals let out a little (or a lot) of gas, some animals simply can’t—or they release it in unexpected ways!

Here are some examples:

• Sloths – Their incredibly slow digestion means gas is absorbed into their bloodstream and they breathe it out.
• Birds – Their gut bacteria are less gas-producing and they digest quickly, so no toots for our feathered friends.
• Bats – It’s possibly because of their fast digestion, which prevents gas buildup.
• Jellyfish – There’s nothing to release without a digestive system.

Nature is full of surprises, don’t you think! Were you shocked by any of these? Let us know what you think!
