Exploding vertebrates

Colobopsis ants explode when they are losing a fight, a behavior which is probably meant to discourage predators from hunting that species. It may also turn tides when in ant wars for territory.

Would it be possible for vertebrates, specially mammals and birds to develop that ability, either through evolution or genetic engineering? If so, by what mechanism could they blow themselves up?
