God’s Incredible Intelligence: The Bombardier Beetle
(View segment from :08 to 4:16)
How does a Bombardier beetle protect itself?
- It fires explosive chemicals out of its tail onto its enemies.
Does it make sense that the beetle learned how to do this over time?
- Nope! Explosions are deadly. So, these beetles would have killed themselves before ever figuring out the right chemicals, the right mixture of them, and the right process to create a safe but effective explosion.
- This tiny creature is a masterpiece of engineering, and its explosive abilities are quite complex.
