I can think of many prehistoric creatures who have evolved the ability
to generate huge volumes of methane which they store internally.

Do ruminants discharge methane from their mouths?

If a suitable platinum catalyst could be introduced into the relevant
orifice, would such creatures become airborne by means of rocket
propulsion?

Flash as a rat^H^H^Hcow with a gold^H^H^H^Hplatinum tooth!
