Lasers shooting out of their eyes - that's a neat super power. How about shooting a super heated noxious chemical? But not from eyes - from their butt!. Meet the Bombardier Beetle. These beetles can spray a boiling-hot liquid out its behind when it’s threatened. When they sense danger, a chemical process gets triggered in their abdomen. Hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide get mixed together, which turns into a super-heated and noxious chemical.
