Do animals fart ?

Yes. Next que- wait a minute...

The class Aves contains nearly 10,000 species of birds, which can be found on all seven continents and range in size from the ostrich (2.8 metres) to the bee hummingbird (5 centimetres), but none of them fart! Birds don’t have the same gas-producing bacteria in their gut that are found in mammals and other farting animals, and food passes quickly through a bird’s digestive system, which leaves no time for the build-up of toots. All the necessary anatomy is in place, though, so it is likely they could if they ‘needed to’.

Spider flatulence is an oddly understudied topic in scientific literature, but we can look to their digestive system for some clues... Since the stercoral sac contains bacteria, which helps break down the spider’s food, it seems likely that gas is produced during this process, and therefore there is certainly the possibility that spiders do fart. No work has been done to verify this to date, however, so the truth remains a mystery until urgently needed research funding is allocated.
