Venomous creatures are animals that produce toxins used for defense or to subdue prey. These toxins can be delivered through bites, stings, or specialized body parts. Common examples include snakes, spiders, and jellyfish. The potency of their venom varies, with some species capable of causing severe pain or even death in humans. Venom serves different purposes in the animal kingdom. For instance, cobras use their venom to immobilize prey, while scorpions may use it for both hunting and protection. Understanding these creatures is essential for appreciating their role in ecosystems and for ensuring human safety in areas where they are found.
