venomous animals
Bite-injecting toxic fauna
Venomous animals are creatures that inject toxins through bites, stings, or other specialized delivery mechanisms—snakes with fangs, scorpions with stingers, jellyfish with nematocysts.
The term is often confused with poisonous, but the distinction matters: venomous animals inject their toxins; poisonous ones are toxic when touched or eaten.
The zoo's venomous animals exhibit includes cobras and Gila monsters.
