Explore the fascinating and sometimes deadly realm of flatulence within the animal kingdom in this engaging TedEd presentation. Explore in detail the topic of why animals, like humans, expel gas and discover the secrets behind the most offensive emissions in the animal world.

Nick Caruso and Dani Rabaiotti offer an in-depth exploration of this intriguing and sometimes malodorous aspect of the animal kingdom.
