This article explores five unlikely animals, that have evolved the ability to be extremely toxic in the wild.
1. Blue capped ifrit: a bird that assimilates poison it eats onto its skin and feathers.
2. Blue-ringed octopus: the most venomous marine animal whose bite will leave a person paralyzed and on the verge of death if not treated quickly.
3. Duck-billed platypus: a unique creature already, during mating season the males produce venom that can be secreted by spurs on the hind limbs.
4. Cone snails: sea dwellers with temping shells to pick up, have spikes on the outside that can lead to paralysis.
5. Komodo dragon: always considered non-venomous, a new debate has sparked when glands of a dragon were dissected and analyzed to be a host to many toxic chemicals.
