I once farted in the front of a lecture hall, and it was so loud, people didn't know what the noise was at first. they looked around with stupid looks or their faces, until the smell of decayed *** gas hit their nostrils.
Farts can be small or large, but all organic intestinal activity (at least the bacteria inside them) will produce gas, and if it is something the bacteria likes to eat, this can be a lot of Gas. Fun Fun Fun!!!
In France in the last 1800's there was a stage performer called Le Petoman, who farted on stage for the amusement of audiences. He started out bey making a sound that was like the "ripping of ten yards of calico", and it went on from there. Ladies would often faint from laughing so hard during his performance. His secret, was that he learned to suck air into his anus, while swimming in the ocean.... Ah to have a talent like that. His dead body was autopsied but doctor's failed to find anything remarkable about his bowels or anus.
Cows produce the largest volumes....

I assume you're talking about individual animals and not global production rates. Methane is a natural byproduct of digesting carbohydrates. This means, among herbivores, he who eats the most farts the most. I'm guessing elephants.
On the other hand, if this is an ecological/global-warming type of question, then the obvious answer is cows. Humanity raises enormous numbers of cows for both meat and dairy and keeps them very well fed.
By the way, in future, please watch your language. This is a science forum and those of us who prefer to think for ourselves find the G-word extremely offensive! The enlightenment began 350 years ago. Get real!

cows are getting a bad rap. I would say beans (especially those in chili) and broccoli.
But as far as natural production of methane not associated to biogenic decomposition (ie rotting after death-plants would win that one), one an individual basis, I believe the elephant wins (winds??) here, overall, however, with nearly 6 Billion humans, humans produce more digestive methane together.

Cows. Wouldn't it be great if you could back one of those babies up to the filler valve of your methane powered car for a refill?

Humans, cows are getting unnecessary blame here. Humans especially after consuming beans,meat are worse offenders.
