(#1) A Cod’s Stomach Held A Large Vibrator
While gutting an 11-pound cod he had caught near his home in Norway, Bjørn Frilund discovered an unusual item buried in its stomach. As well as a partially digested fish, the stomach contained a rather large sex toy. The fishermen conjectured that the fish may have eaten the vibrating dildo by mistake, thinking it was a cephalopod or another fish due to its bright coloring.
"I was astonished," he said in an interview with The Local. "It was totally unexpected. I had never seen anything like this before."

(#2) A Squid Contained A Live Bomb
While gutting a three-foot long squid to prepare it for sale, a fisherman in China hit a live bomb with his knife. Thankfully, the bomb didn't go off and the man quickly called emergency services. The squid had apparently swallowed the explosive device, mistaking it for a prawn. The bomb remained inside the squid until it died.
After emergency services was informed, a special police team removed the dead creature and performed a controlled explosion. They later confirmed that the bomb was live and could have detonated at any time.

(#3) A Tiger Shark Had A Whole Suit Of Armor In Its Stomach
Several tiger sharks that were examined in the '90s contained all manner of surprising objects. The items were on display as part of the "Sharks: Facts and Fantasy" exhibition in 1994 by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. One of the craziest things that have been found in a shark's stomach is a whole suit of armor, complete with a helm.
How a steel suit ended up in the water, and how a shark even ingested it, remain unclear.

(#4) A Lake Trout Had A Human Thumb
In 1992, a fishermen in Wyoming discovered a severed thumb in the stomach of a trout he had caught. The missing digit was eventually traced to Robert Lindsey. He had been involved in a boating accident the year before where two of his fingers and a thumb had been cut off by a propellor. While the fingers were found, the thumb remained missing and thus, couldn't be reattached.
It is hypothesized that the trout ate the thumb after it was severed and loose in the water, and that the thumb had remained undigested in the stomach of the fish for a year.

(#5) A Turtle Had Nearly A Thousand Coins In Its Stomach
A turtle found in Thailand was discovered to have almost 1,000 coins in its stomach. The creature lived in a pond that was frequently visited by tourists who threw coins into the water for luck. The unwitting turtle had eaten these coins in huge numbers until the collective weight of all the change was so strong that it broke its shell.
A successful surgical procedure was able to remove the coins and fix the broken shell in hopes of saving the turtle. However, the toxic effects of the metal eventually caused an infection due to nickel poisoning, which stopped up the intestines. Nearly two weeks after surgery, the turtle died.

Inside the stomach, workers found an entire junkyard’s worth of scrap. This includes English pennies, a police whistle, keys, and screws.

A gigantic alligator captured and killed in Alabama surprised taxidermists and biologists when they cut open its stomach. Inside they found a fully-intact female deer that weighed around 100 pounds. The doe was missing fur, but the body and hooves were still visible. They were stunned to also discover two squirrel carcasses, something that had not been seen before.
A local researcher suggested that the tiny animals might have fallen into the water during a storm and been consumed when they couldn’t escape.

(#11) A Mako Shark Had An Entire Sea Lion Inside Of It
Researchers who were attempting to study the aquatic food chain discovered a shocking item inside a Mako shark’s stomach. According to chief scientist Dr. Antonella Preti, the 12-foot predator had a 200-pound sea lion inside of it. The sea lion, which was around the same size as an adult person, was even intact.

(#12) A Gray Whale Had A Golf Ball In Its Stomach
When a dead gray whale washed up onto the coast in Seattle in 2012, scientists carried out tests to see what had killed the marine mammal. Upon examining the contents of the stomach as part of this process, they discovered a wide range of items. Chief amongst them were a golf ball, wooden debris, and plastic.
The researchers believed these items had probably been dumped into the ocean as trash and then eaten by the whale.

About This Tool
Both humans and animals need to eat food to survive. However, due to increasing environmental pollution, a large number of harmful substances or indecomposable garbage are scattered all over the earth. There is no doubt that this is a very bizarre thing, but it does not surprising that strange things have been found in the stomachs of many animals, such as golf balls, coins, plastic bags, and even bombs that have not yet exploded.
The random tool reveals 12 of the most strange things that humans ever found in animals' stomachs. It is obvious that these things in the stomachs are not foods, and may kill them. Eco-environmental protection is imminent.
