if the methane is expelled through its throat and ignited in its mouth the problem would be the same. the inside of its mouth would be subjected to radiant heating from 3000 degree kelvin flame.
You're basically claiming methane flares are physically impossible. There are tens of thousands of them on the Bakken that would like to argue the point.
