Is there any animal more helpless than a baby bird? These fuzzy little buggers can’t even fly to get away from predators. But the fulmar bird, a tubenosed seabird indigenous to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, has evolved a disgusting way for its little ones to protect themselves. When approached by a larger bird, the cute, fluffy white fulmar chick will projectile vomit the contents of its stomach all over the attacker. This by itself is not terribly unique – plenty of animals puke under pressure – but it’s the ingredients of this vile orange spit-up that are really fascinating. The oils in the baby fulmar’s stomach clings to the feathers of predatory birds, matting them together and making them unable to swim or fly. If enough gets on the attacker, they can actually drown as a result.
