The animal often associated with throwing its baby at predators is the quokka, but they don't actually throw them; instead, the mother releases the joey from her pouch to distract the predator, allowing the mother to escape, a harsh survival tactic also seen in kangaroos and wallabies. This instinctive behavior, sometimes called "infant abandonment," prioritizes the mother's survival so she can reproduce again

If you develop a serious bowel blockage.. then your entire stomach will go into reverse and you will start vomiting up stuff that has gone below the stomach.
All the way below the stomach. It’s called faecal vomiting. You are literally sh*tting out of your mouth. Don’t ask me how I know this.

Very “I have no mouth and I must scream,” of nature.
