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.

What unique ability does the Regimbardia Attenuada beetle have?

• It can produce its own light.

• It can change colors to camouflage.

• It can survive being eaten by frogs.

• It can fly long distances.

What was the purpose of Shinji Sugiura's experiment with the beetles?

• To find out if beetles can survive in dry environments.

• To determine if beetles actively escape digestion.

• To test if beetles can change their diet.

• To see if beetles can swim faster than frogs.

How do Regimbardia Attenuada beetles manage to survive inside a frog?

• By eating the frog from the inside.

• By hiding in the frog's stomach lining.

• By storing air under their exoskeleton.

• By producing a toxic substance.

Which of the following animals also survive digestion but with less success than Regimbardia Attenuada?

• Butterflies and moths

• Snails and fish eggs

• Lizards and snakes

• Birds and mammals

What is unique about the Regimbardia Attenuada compared to other beetles in its family?

• It can live in colder climates.

• It can survive digestion.

• It can fly higher.

• It can produce silk.
