“ There ’s a lot we do n’t know about animal farts , and that means a lot we do n’t bang about creature digestion , ” Rabaiotti , a Ph . D student at University College London and the Zoological Society of London , tell apart Gizmodo . “ It ’s hopefully a lighthearted manner to learn a lot of nerveless poppycock you might not have bed about animals . ”
The leger started with Rabaiotti ’s tweet , which soon became an editable spreadsheet with the assistant of Caruso , a hashtag ( # DoesItFart ) , and even aGizmodo story . But this is a book which means it ’s , well , more than a tweet . For example , did you know that :
Blue whale have very prominent fart , very in all likelihood the largest in volume of any species . But these expulsions have only been caught on television camera a few meter .
millipede release much tinier carousal . Their simple digestive tract arrest methane - producing bacteria to aid in process food . Tropical millipede species produce more gas than non - tropic coinage , since they ’re self-aggrandizing .
And ocean cucumbers do n’t farting , but there are species of pearl-fish that know ( and feed ) on their crotch .
Rabaiotti is n’t apprehensive about what a fart book might do to her professional calling . In fact , she ’s writing another book soon . She recite Gizmodo : “ It might be loosely poop - themed . ”
