As someone who got into inflation because of the "Frog & the Ox" cartoon from Sesame Street (now on Inlfate123's vid page), I found this news item from Roland Sweet's "Newsquirks" column a tad, um, titillating...
"German animal welfare workers and veterinarians were baffled when as many as 1,000 toads exploded in Hamburg after swelling to three and a half times their normal size. Describing the nightly scene as something from 'a science fiction film,' nature protection society spokesperson Werner Smolnik said, 'You see the animals crawling on the ground, swelling and then exploding,' propelling their entrails up to three feet in the air. Finally, veterinary surgeon Frank Mutschmann concluded that the toads had been attacked by crows, causing them to 'swell up as a form of self-defense,' then explode when the crows pecked them while trying to eat their livers."
It's amazing... It's astounding... but it's no bullshit!!
That's damn funny.
Gotta love how nature sabotages itself...
