When a manatee dives, it regulates its buoyancy by farting. Hold the fart and float to the surface of the water, and after the fart, it sinks to the bottom. If you've ever seen manatees, you'll see that behind them, there's always a circle of bubbles, and they're farting. For this reason, the manatee is known as the "king of the ocean farts".

The manatee uses its fart to control buoyancy, which has a lot to do with its body structure. Manatees don't have swim bladders to help regulate buoyancy and can't move freely through the water like fish. However, the east is not bright and the west is not bright, they can store and release gas through the strong lungs, so that the body can float and dive. For manatees, storing gas is holding back, and releasing gas is farting.

Fart to do want to put on the way, is not an easy task, the body needs to have gas, how do these gases produce? Manatees eat a large amount, and eat vegetarian, mainly eat seaweed cores and other aquatic plants, so the body will accumulate a lot of methane, farting This thing for manatees, really want to put it.

Manatees are very large, 2.5-4.0 meters long and weigh about 360 kg. Their forelimbs are paddle-like flippers, with no hindlimbs, retaining a degenerated pelvis and a large, thick flat tail fin. The nostrils are located above the snout and are suitable for breathing on the surface of the water.

In addition to being known as the king of the ocean fart, because manatees eat about 45 kilograms of seaweed and other plants every day, they have the title of "water lawn mower". The stomach of the manatee is very similar to that of a horse, with a simple structure, with a strong cecum to digest rough plant-like foods, and usually the total length of the digestive tract can reach 45 meters, which is much larger than other mammals of the same size. When they eat, they act like vacuum cleaners, and large patches of seaweed are constantly sucked into their mouths. #Headline Creation Challenge ##所见所得, very scientific # #打开眼界 #
