The bombardier beetle has a unique defense mechanism - when threatened, it releases a combination of two chemicals from its abdomen that react to produce a hot and irritating spray that can be directed accurately at a predator. This chemical spray can reach temperatures of nearly 100 degrees Celsius and is powerful enough to deter predators.
