#50: Persistence is the Name of the Game

I’m as guilty as Hal when it comes to denying access to my phone. Still, when they bust out a question like this, my Google app snaps open quicker than Usain Bolt can run. Just the other day, my daughter and I spent an hour looking up aye-ayes and their super weird fingers.

Thankfully for Hal’s son, Dani Rabaiotti, a zoologist with the Zoological Society of London, is just as curious and has begun the mission of listing which animals fart and what it smells like. It all started when someone asked her if snakes fart. Since then, she’s begun intensive research on 81 different animals. Yes, snakes fart. Giraffes do, too, and it’s not pleasant (are you going to look it up now?).
