A water beetle swallowed alive by a frog escapes through the butt Science News

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=_W0UJD_i3Mo&feature=emb_logo


About two hours before this video begins, this pond frog (Pelophylax nigromaculatus) ate a water beetle (Regimbartia attenuate). After traversing the digestive tract of the frog, the beetle emerges from the back end of the frog, alive. It’s the first documented example of prey actively escaping a predator through the digestive system.


America is now that water beetle and we are trying to get out of Trump’s asshole …. btw which is much harder because he wears diapers.

I tend to think of Donwald as a really bad case of constipation in the body politic. Impeachmelax offered no relief, so now we're waiting for our industrial-size dose of Votolax to kick in 169 days from now.

Could be a new, all-natural laxative.

Or a weight-loss strategy--eat as many as you want and never gain weight.
