Farting is not limited to humans and other mammals. 사실은, most animals that have a digestive system produce gas as a byproduct of digestion. This includes birds, 파충류, 양서류, and even insects.
Flatulence, or passing gas, is a natural bodily function that occurs in most animals, including reptiles such as snakes and lizards.
While the process of farting in lizards may differ from mammals, it is a common occurrence in the animal kingdom.
Why lizards fart
The process of digestion in lizards involves the breakdown of food by bacteria in the gut.
These bacteria produce gas as a byproduct of their metabolic processes.
This gas accumulates in the digestive tract and is eventually expelled through the rectum, a process commonly known as farting.
도마뱀, in particular, have been found to produce methane as a byproduct of their digestive process.
The composition – and smell – of lizard flatulence can vary depending on their diet, with some species producing a combination of methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide.
Interestingly, some species of geckos are even known to fart as a form of mechanism against predators.
The South-western Spiny-Tailed Gecko/Lizard (Strophurus spinigerus) squirts a harmless albeit rather smelly fluid from pores along the top of its tail to repel predators such as snakes.
What species of lizards fart?
