What is Animal Venom?
Animal venom is a special liquid that some animals create and use. It acts like a poison and helps them in different ways. Animals often use venom to catch their food or to protect themselves from danger.
How Animals Use Venom
Many animals, like snakes, spiders, and scorpions, have venom. They inject it into other animals, often through a bite or a sting. The venom can make the other animal sick, paralyzed, or even stop its heart. This helps the venomous animal to hunt for food or to escape from predators. For example, a snake might bite a mouse and inject venom to make it easier to eat. Or a bee might sting someone with venom if it feels threatened.
