Mongoose throwing and smashing millipedes.

T Eisner, J A Davis.   

Abstract

African millipedes of the genus Sphaerotherium coil into tight spheres when disturbed. Their tough skeletal armor offers protection against some predators, but not against the African banded mongoose Mungos mungo, which smashes them by hurling them against rock.
