Zootoxin

Zootoxins are toxic substances produced by animals, often used for defense or to capture prey. Common examples include venom from snakes, spiders, and certain frogs, which can cause harm or even death to other creatures. These toxins can have various effects, such as paralysis or death, and are often specific to the target species. Zootoxins are an important part of the ecosystem, influencing predator-prey relationships and contributing to the evolutionary adaptations of both toxins producers and their victims. In research, understanding these toxins can lead to medical advancements, including pain management and treatments for certain diseases.
