Animals Actively Poisonous

Actively venomous animals are a group of animals that have the ability to produce and use poison to protect themselves from enemies or to kill prey. These animals have special glands and organs that allow them to produce and use poison.

One of the most famous actively poisonous animals is the cobra. The cobra has glands on its head that produce venom, which it uses to protect itself from enemies. The cobra also has specialized glands in its tail that produce stronger venom than the glands on its head.

Another example of an actively poisonous animal is the scorpion. The scorpion has glands on its tail that produce strong venom. It uses this poison to protect itself from its enemies and to kill its prey.

In addition, there are many other animals such as spiders, wasps, bees and others that also have actively poisonous properties. They use their venom for defense and to hunt prey.

It is important to note that many actively venomous animals have a very low probability of being bitten by humans. However, if you accidentally find yourself near such an animal, you must be careful and do not approach it.



Animals of the actively poisonous type are a special group of predators that have a number of adaptations for survival in difficult conditions. They live in a variety of places, ranging from deserts to tropical forests, which allows them to find optimal conditions for breeding and feeding.

The main features of actively poisonous animals: - The presence of special glands that produce poison. Some animal species use venom glands to defend themselves from predators or kill prey, while others use them to attract mates during mating season. For example, cobras use their bright colors and poisonous sting to show their strength and readiness to mate. Ixodid ticks have special capsules containing their poison, with which they camouflage their bodies and catch their prey. Many marine mammals, such as sperm whales, whales and dolphins, also have venom glands. Many species of spiders, octopuses, jellyfish and stars widely use toxic substances in their life. Crocodiles - well-known reptiles - in addition to a large number of powerful teeth, also have glands for producing poison. The most poisonous reptile is the Komodo dragon, which lives on the island of Komodo, which can kill an elephant if it attacks it. - The body is ideally suited for survival. Poison very often turns out to be useless if you don’t know how to use it effectively and don’t know who to use it against. Therefore, animals of the actively poisonous type are characterized by a specific body shape; it is increased in size compared to ordinary ones due to extensive muscles, for example, a thickened tail, a leathery comb, sharp teeth, large limbs, and a flexible body. They can be aggressive and are always ready to fight for territory. Some modifications of animals' bodies specifically protect them from enemies, including mammals with their sharp teeth, birds with sharp beaks and powerful paws, sea creatures with sharp claws and long hair, and fish with poisonous spines. Also, many actively poisonous animals can quickly change the shape and color of their body, which makes them even more cunning and deadly in the struggle for survival. In the process of evolution, forms adapted for flight appeared; some animals hide in and behind other people’s bodies, changing shape. These human abilities are not given.
