Exploding animal
The explosion of animals is an uncommon event arising through natural causes or human activity. Among the best known examples are the post-mortem explosion of whales, either as a result of natural decomposition or deliberate attempts at carcass disposal.〔Steven Hackstadt, (The Evidence ), TheExplodingWhale.com Accessed November 7, 2005; (The Infamous Exploding Whale ) perp.com, Accessed June 6 2005)〕 Other instances of exploding animals are defensive in nature or the result of human intervention.
==Causes of explosions==
Natural explosions can occur for a variety of reasons. Post-mortem explosions, like that of a beached whale, are the result of the build-up of natural gases created by methane-producing bacteria inside the carcass during the decomposition process.〔"(Sperm whale explodes in Taiwanese City )," ''eTaiwan News'',January 27, 2004 (accessed November 17, 2006)〕
Natural explosions which occur while an animal is living may be defense-related. A number of toads in Germany and Denmark exploded in April 2005.〔"(Mystery of German exploding toads )," ''BBC News'', April 27 2005 (accessed November 17 2006)〕
