In 2004, a dead sperm whale washed up on the shore on Taiwan. This monster of a whale was 17 meters long (56ft), and weighed over 50 tons. As the whale began to decompose, there was a build up of gas within the whale that had no way to escape. Eventually, the pressure of the gas build up was so great, the whale exploded, covering bystanders, shops and vehicles nearby in whale entrails.

Toads
In 2005, in Denmark and Germany, lakes were discovered filled with toad corpses. These lakes were nicknamed, “Lake Of Death” and other names along those lines by the locals. When further investigated, it was discovered that the deaths were all down to one reason, crows. The toads defence mechanism was to inflate themselves to a larger size to try and ward off any potential predator or other threat. This however, did not work on the crows. The toads puffed up and the crows would swoop down and peck out the liver. The toad, apparantly oblivious to the gaping hole in its side, would continue to puff up, forcing its entrails to burst out of the hole.

A long story short, when a queen bee becomes sexually mature, she will go on a mating flight with several of the male drone bees. When one of the males mates with the queen, its genitals explode and snap off inside of the queen. This stops any other drone from mating with the queen, ensuring the dead drones paternity.

The Camponotus Saundersi, along with several other species of ants, defence mechanism is to explode when things aren’t going good. The ants have two oversized, poisonous glue filled, glands that run the length of its body. The ants have the ability of burst these glands at any point, sprayingpoisonous glue over any would be attackers.
