Toad Swallows A Bad Beetle- Prepare To Laugh

Toads eat beetles as a major part of their diet. Besides keeping the toads alive in order to sustain the species, they also control the over population of beetles. Occasionally they get the wrong kind of beetle. In this case, it was a poisonous Bombardier beetle, as in stink bomb beetle. First indication that all is not okay, is his twitching right eye. Then the noxious fumes ricochet off his stomach wall and wafts upwards towards his smell receptors and finally hits his taste-buds, Yuck!. Now watch the fun happen. P.S. Both the toad and the beetle out lived the 88 minute ordeal, (time-lapse)
