NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The ultimate guide to animal flatulence: the perfect gift for anyone
who has ever farted. Dogs do it. Millipedes do it. Dinosaurs did it. You do it: I do it.
Octopuses don't (and nor do octopi). Spiders might do it: more research is needed. Birds don't
do it but they could if they wanted to. Herrings do it to communicate with each other. At the
beginning of 2017 an innocent question on twitter about snakes formed the hashtag #doesitfart
and spread pungently across the internet - and major newspapers - as dozens of experts weighed
in on which animals do and don't fart and if they do how much how often what it's made of
what it smells like and what it's for. Does it Fart? is the result: the fully authoritative
fully illustrated guide to animal flatulence covering the habits of 80 animals in more detail
than you ever knew you needed. What foods make hyena farts smell especially bad? What is a
fossa and does it fart? Why do clams vomit but not fart? What is a fart anyway? With
contributions from dozens of biologists Does it Fart? is a book that will allow you to shift
the blame onto all kinds of unlikely animals for years to come.
