WEBVTT - Fred's Avoiding This!

0:00:00.110 --> 0:00:05.580
<v Speaker 1>The Fred Show is on! Fred's Fun Facts! Fred's Fun Facts!

0:00:05.660 --> 0:00:13.630
<v Speaker 1>You can learn so much! You can learn so much! The,

0:00:14.250 --> 0:00:20.390
<v Speaker 1>I believe it's called the Bombardier Beetle, is frightening. When threatened, actually,

0:00:20.710 --> 0:00:22.630
<v Speaker 1>I'm frightened, but this is something very similar. I do

0:00:22.650 --> 0:00:26.540
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. When frightened or threatened, certain species mix

0:00:26.620 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>chemicals inside a special chamber in their abdomen, creating a

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>rapid reaction that produces an irritating spray that reaches 200 degrees.

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.780
<v Speaker 1>The beetle can then spray at the attackers and the

0:00:40.820 --> 0:00:43.900
<v Speaker 1>burst happens so quickly that scientists have compared the mechanism

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.700
<v Speaker 1>to a miniature machine gun. So like a frog comes

0:00:47.770 --> 0:00:51.170
<v Speaker 1>up on this thing. It then squirts 200 degree boiling

0:00:51.229 --> 0:00:54.990
<v Speaker 1>chemicals out of its butt at you. Oh, out of

0:00:55.010 --> 0:00:58.910
<v Speaker 1>the butt. Well, that abdomen area. It mixes it up

0:00:58.950 --> 0:01:01.950
<v Speaker 1>in the abdomen and then, so don't mess with me. Yeah,

0:01:02.010 --> 0:01:04.750
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that. Bombardier Beetle and I have a

0:01:04.770 --> 0:01:07.170
<v Speaker 1>lot in common. I will spray it right at you.

0:01:07.209 --> 0:01:10.090
<v Speaker 1>Good to know. More Fred Show next.
