It is highly likely that ants fart. While there are limited studies regarding ant flatus (farts) and whether or not ants actually pass gas from their anuses, possible evidence of farting in ants has been shown through preserved gas bubbles around the anuses of ants that have been trapped in amber. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, ants also satisfy the requirements such as specific body parts and the presence of microbes in the gut necessary to produce a fart.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article we\u2019ll discuss how ants are capable of farting and why they do so.<\/p>\n\n\n
