Turtles Breathe Out of Their Butt. Technically the term is cloacal respiration, and it’s not so much breathing as just diffusing oxygen in and carbon dioxide out, but the fact remains: when turtles hibernate, their main source of oxygen is through their butt.
I come to Frog Applause each day full of anticipation and high hopes.
Then I run into a lesson-cartoon like this one! I didn’t want to know that. I don’t need to know that. But now I’ll be afflicted by mus-scatological and/or smutty imaginings all the day long! Why, oh, why?!

And that’s just one of the ways you can tell if you’re a man or a mouse.

Sweet and savory. Mmmmmm…
…AND if you knock out the proteins that allow those taste cells to work, the male mice become sterile.

Where oh where, pray tell, are the female mice taste receptors located …? Inquiring tadpole minds await the lame answer … AFTER the dance of course …!

They’ve spliced mouse genes into corn. Does that mean the corn can taste us as we eat it?
