Nature showcases various escape strategies from predation; for example, the aquatic beetle can walk through a frog's gut and exit via the anus.
Co-author Yuha Hasegawa emphasizes the uniqueness of the Japanese eel’s ability, marking a significant contribution to understanding predator-prey interactions in the aquatic ecosystem.
Previous studies reveal different survival tactics in prey, showcasing nature's complexity and adaptability in the face of threats from predators.
