TED-Ed

Dive into the bowels of the animal kingdom to explore why animals fart, and find out which creature has the foulest flatulence.

--

For most humans, farts are a welcome relief, an embarrassing incident, or an opportunity for a gas-based gag. But for many other creatures, farts are no laughing matter. Deep in the bowels of the animal kingdom, farts can serve as tools of intimidation, acts of self-defense, and weapons of malodorous murder. Nick Caruso and Dani Rabaiotti dig into the funky and foul world of animal flatulence.

Lesson by Nick Caruso and Dani Rabaiotti, directed by Avi Ofer.
