Venomous Creatures

Venomous creatures produce and deliver toxins through specialized mechanisms such as fangs, spines, or stingers to defend themselves or capture prey. Their venom can cause pain, illness, or more serious health effects in humans and other animals. Not all dangerous-looking animals are venomous; some are merely poisonous if touched or ingested. Examples include snakes like vipers and cobras, insects like bees and wasps, and marine animals like box jellyfish. Understanding these creatures helps in avoiding harm and appreciating their role in ecosystems as both predators and prey.
