Answer:


Poisonous animals are widely distributed throughout the animal kingdom; the only major group that seems to be exempt is the birds.

Zootoxins can be divided into several categories: (1) oral poisons—those that are poisonous when eaten; (2) parenteral poisons, or venoms—those that are produced by a specialized poison gland and administered by means of a venom apparatus; and (3) crinotoxins—those that are produced by a specialized poison gland but are merely released into the environment, usually by means of a pore.

Oral zootoxins (see Table 7) are generally thought to be small molecules; most venoms (Table 8) are believed to be large molecules, usually a protein or a substance in close association with one. Venoms, which are produced by specialized poison glands, are injected by means of a mechanical device that is able to penetrate the flesh of the victim. Little is known about the biological or chemical properties of most crinotoxins (Table 9). The term poisonous may be used in the generic sense to refer to all three categories of zoo-toxins.
