What animal does not vomit?
Frogs aren't the only animals that can't vomit. Others include horses, rabbits and rats – one reason rat poison is so effective.
Which animal Cannot burp or vomit?
Horses have a band of muscle around their esophagus down near the stomach, acting as a one-way valve to keep food from coming back up. Horses aren't able to relax that valve, so stomach contents cannot be forced back up through their throat.
Which species can vomit?
Nearly every vertebrate we know of vomits. Vomiting has been observed in fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds as well as most mammals. Horses are a notable exception—as are rats, mice, rabbits and most other rodents.
Why do horses not vomit?
Horses can't vomit because they have a strong lower esophageal sphincter that acts as a one-way valve, preventing food from coming up. Food and water pass through the sphincter and into the stomach, but the contents can't travel in the reverse direction because of the valve's strength.
Do snakes vomit?

Do sharks throw up?
As a way to put off attackers (or to remove indigestible stomach content), sharks can turn their stomachs inside out and vomit up their latest meal. Some predators eat the vomit instead of the shark.
Why do rats not vomit?
But why can't rats vomit? Rats have a highly-resistant barrier between the stomach and the esophagus, which essentially creates a one-way system. Once the toxins are in, they stay in. Rats lack the muscular strength to reopen the hatch and reverse the flow of food or fluids.
