This Beetle Crawls Through Frog Intestines to Survive Being Eaten

The video discusses the unique survival ability of the water beetle Regimbardia Attenuada, which can escape from a frog's digestive system alive. Biologist Shinji Sugiura's experiments show that these beetles actively escape by stimulating the frog's hind gut. The beetle's survival is attributed to its swimming ability, air storage under its exoskeleton, and watertight shell. While some other species like snails and fish eggs can survive digestion, they do not actively escape. The video concludes with speculation on the survival strategies of other beetles.
