NOT ALL ANIMALS FART. Octopuses don't fart, nor do other sea creatures like soft-shell clams or sea anemones. Birds don't, either. Meanwhile, sloths may be the only mammal that doesn't fart, according to the book (although the case for bat farts is pretty tenuous).
Here's a mind-boggling fact: Almost all mammals fart, yet the sloth does not.

The Pogonophoran Worm, the Jellyfish, Corals and Sea Anemones cannot fart as they lack anuses.
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.
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.
The fake news site was deliberately using that domain to mislead the public. So, no, dogs can't see their own farts. But they CAN see things we can't, and a dog's sense of smell is definitely a kind of canine superpower.
Squirrels can't burp or vomit… ie they have a mean gag reflex!
Cannonball jellyfish have a ball-shaped bell bordered with brown or purple pigment and short protruding oral arms.
Passing gas is another matter altogether. Healthy reptiles don't usually generate much gas in the gastrointestinal tract. Excessive gas could mean that the reptile is suffering from an intestinal problem.
According to multiple reports across the internet, hippos are the animals with the loudest farts. This isn't surprising because the average hippo weighs over 3,300 pounds!
Reducing the Volume Another technique for farting silently in public is to reduce the volume of the fart. This can be done by lying down on one side, bending forward, and then releasing the gas. This method can help to reduce the sound of the fart by dispersing the gas more evenly.
The World's Longest Fart
Stretching way past the 10-second mark, hippo farts go on longer than any other African animal.
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. However, this is a rare occurrence often used to clean their cloaca or scare off an attacker. As long as you keep your snake on a healthy diet, it should occasionally pass gas.
Farts that have no smell only mean that too much air has accumulated in the body and is now ready to pass and exit. In fact, 99 percent of fart comprises odorless gasses, while the remaining 1 percent is typically sulfurous.
Yes, termites fart. Just like cattle and other ruminants (that is, an animal that brings up food from its stomach and chews it again), termites have bacteria in their guts that break down plant material.
Jellyfish are usually either male or female (with occasional hermaphrodites). In most cases, adults release sperm and eggs into the surrounding water, where the unprotected eggs are fertilized and develop into larvae.
Jellyfish reproduce both sexually and asexually. One generation (the medusa) reproduces sexually and the next generation (the polyp) reproduces asexually.
When you brush against a tentacle, tiny triggers on its surface release the stingers. The tube pierces the skin and releases venom. It affects the area of contact and may enter the bloodstream. Jellyfish that have washed up on a beach may still release venomous stingers if touched.
That's right: Squirrels, mice, rats, gophers, beavers and all other rodents are incapable of throwing up. Scientists have long known that rodents aren't able to vomit, but the reason behind it has only more recently been understood, according to Smithsonian(Opens in a new window).
Marine mammals such as dolphins and whales cannot cough. Some invertebrates such as insects and spiders cannot cough or sneeze. Domestic animals and vertebrates such as dogs and cats can cough, because of diseases, allergies, dust or choking.
Fish are not the only creatures that can lack stomachs. All of the monotremes, or egg-laying mammals such as the platypus and echidna, also lost their stomachs during the course of evolution.
Dogs rely heavily on their noses and have a much more sensitive sense of smell than humans, so they're naturally more attracted to sweaty parts of the body, like the groin area. A dog will sniff your crotch simply because they are curious about you and want to learn more about your age, sex, and mood.
It is very likely your dog can remember things that have happened in the past and especially events that happened recently, like where they left their ball outside yesterday. So in short, your dog can probably remember certain things from the day before!
Previous research has shown how dogs are highly receptive to their owners crying. According to a new study, they will also break through barriers to get to them. Dogs who heard their owners cry opened a door to "rescue" them.
