Be sure to check out the bat bombs.
Thanks to billfish678 for leading me to this.
Too awesome to not bump…
Can’t help but mention my favourite animal/explosion related thing…
Presenting, the Chicken powered nuclear bomb!
It’s finger lickin’ good!
My goodness, I’ve seen loony military projects before but this one gets the golden banana award of sheer lunacy. :dubious:
Exploding Toads were the best. The article helpfully notes that at the time of detonation:-
Further,
I’m not sure “bluffy” is a word. I don’t think I care. 
Aw, they’re missing B.F. Skinner’s pigeon-guided missile! Also, I think the soviets trained dogs by first starving them, and then hiding food under tanks; in combat situation, the (hungry) dogs were equipped with detonation packs which went off when the dog went under a tank. However, it turned out that training them on their own tanks had not been a good idea. Ah, there they are: Anti-tank dogs.
I’m partial to the Bat Bombs myself.
That’s just because they sound like something on the Utility Belt.
There are some dry wits in that there Wikipedia.
Finally, something has made me regret the atomic bombings. Oh man, I would have loved to have known the results of these things being unleashed on a wide scale. But the bombings scotched that project.
But there’s still … Pyongyang.
I expected at least a reference to “frickin’ sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their frickin’ heads”…
Frickin’ Wikipedia…
Yeah, but they don’t frickin’ explode, now, do they? 
Wow, the bat bombs sound absolutely devious.
The “exploding chicken” is pretty good. A movie opening was delayed because of a scene with a bomb strapped to a chicken. I’m not sure why, but it seems someone thought the chicken was terrified of the bomb – as if it understood what explosives are.
Sorry to bump this thread but I just wanted to thank WF Tomba for posting it because I chose this topic for one of my assignments in Speech 101 class - an informative presentation. I was milling over what to do my assignment on and read this thread - it was just too cool a topic to pass up.
I covered three kinds of exploding animals in the presentation, the exploding toad (I made a visual aid for this one using this photo), the chicken-powered nuclear bomb, and the bat bomb. It was well received and the class seemed to enjoy it, I should get my grade back on Wednesday. 
Wow. Whoever came up with the bat bomb idea was extremely clever. Definitely an outside the box kind of thinker.
I notified The Shark Guys, one of whom lives here in Bangkok, about this, and they wrote up this Top 10 Exploding Animals list. I hear it was picked up by Gorilla Mask, a Farklike website.
