exploding toads!

[Su-Yin]

:blowingup
Hundreds of toads have met a bizarre and sinister end in Germany in recent days: they exploded.
According to reports from animal welfare workers and veterinarians as many as a thousand of the amphibians have perished after their bodies swelled to bursting point and their entrails were propelled for up to a metre.

It is like "a science fiction film", according to Werner Smolnik of a nature protection society in the northern city of Hamburg, where the phenomenon of the exploding toad has been observed.

"You see the animals crawling on the ground, swelling and then exploding."

:confused: I think it was a virus that caused the frogs to explode, not some kids who stuffed them?

What the hell was that story of that big fish?

[Canyarion]

Somewhere in Asia (South Korea?) they tried moving a stranded whale to a museum or something. They didn't know that the rotting processes often cause a whale to blow up from the inside. It happened in the middle of the street, as you can see in the picture. :D
