wonder what it could be,. also doesnt say how long it takes to swell up before exploding. if its really quick, like a few minutes, it might be some gastro disease. possibly something in the water like they said. but if thats the case i am sure any fish in the same water would have the same effect.

The riddle is solved.
Crows eat the toads' livers without actually killing them. (Must be the tastiest part.)
Toads pump up their lungs when in danger, to appear more intimidating. Without the livers, the lungs can expand beyond their natural limits, which eventually leads to the *pop* phenomenon.

Hmm, that leaves the question why the crows suddenly started to do that.

yea, that's just fucking strange.

Not likely (unless you're being sarcastic). Toad lungs aren't large enough to take in that much air, and the diaphragm can't take in air quickly enough to explode the animal. I'd suspect either a chemical reaction in the toads' gut due to something they eat, or some sort of defense mechanism.SplishSplash wrote:The riddle is solved.

Toads don't have diaphragms.

Woops... You're right about that. I was thinking about mammal anatomy.SplishSplash wrote:Toads don't have diaphragms.
! However, they still don't have a way to inhale enough air to explode.

The hognose snake will first mimic a cobra...if that's doesn't scare off an enemy, he flips over on his back and plays dead:
Of course, being the reptilian equivalent of a moron, if you flip him right side up while he's playing dead, he'll quickly flip back over on his back and resume his acting. Ya know, cause he's still supposed to be dead n' all. Many human actors could learn a few things from this level of commitment.

We have a bunch of those around here. And yep, that's exactly what they do.Hannibal wrote:The hognose snake will first mimic a cobra...if that's doesn't scare off an enemy, he flips over on his back and plays dead:

Someone tell duke to stop knocking up these creatures for fucks sake.

That's what I'm hinking as well, but they obviously do have a way to inhale enough air to pump themselves up. That makes me think that this theory might be true.werldhed wrote: However, they still don't have a way to inhale enough air to explode.

That snake is really funny, he keeps his mouth open as if he's expired, as well. Are they poisonous?
