Some animals fart, some do not. It depends on which animal you are asking about.
the answer to this question is yes. all animals have to "pass gas" in one way or another. An average cow is thought to emit between 542 litres (if located in a barn) and 600 litres (if in a field) of methane per day through burping and flatulence.

Yes, like all mammals, rabbits do defecate (poo). Rabbit feces are small, round, hard pellets with no smell. (They are sometimes mistaken for food pellets.) Rabbits can be litter trained, usually quite easily, but they will always leave some feces outside of the litter box for territorial reasons.

Rabbits have two sorts of droppings: one kind is feces, as described above; and the other kind is called cecotropes or cecal pellets. Rabbits actually eat their cecal pellets: it's a form of re-digestion, like cows chewing the cud. Cecal pellets are smaller than feces, and they're mushy and sticky and a little stinky; sometimes they're found alone, and other times they're found stuck together in a grape formation -- mostly, though, they're not found at all, because the rabbit eats them. If you find a cecotrope or two now and again, that's probably fine -- although, you should make sure the rabbit isn't showing any signs of illness (see related question below), and you should mention what you found to the vet at the next check-up. If you're finding a lot of cecotropes, though, then something is wrong: probably the rabbit needs a diet change (more hay, less pellets), but you should talk to the vet and keep a close eye on the rabbit because the problem could be even more serious.

If you find mushy poo, what you're probably actually finding is unformed cecal pellets -- this mean's the rabbit's in cecal dysbiosis, which can turn very serious if it isn't taken care of. You should bring the rabbit to a vet for an exam to rule out illness. It could be the rabbit just needs a better diet (more hay, less pellets), but it could be a more serious problem.

True mushy poo/diarrhea isn't very common in rabbits but if your rabbit does have it (especially if it's a baby rabbit), then consider this an emergency and get your rabbit to the vet immediately.

All living creatures release gasses in the way of farting because in the stomaches of animals, methane gas is produced as a biproduct of digestion.

Kangaroo. Instead of expelling the gas like most living things do. They simply reuse the methane and convert it into energy.

Fun fact huh?
