This snake’s toxic bite causes paralysis, which keeps its strong and speedy eel prey from escaping. Yellow-lipped sea kraits, smooth-scaled silver-blue snakes with zebra stripes, thrive here, essing along the sandy bottom.

Spitting spiders don't just bite their prey. They weaponize silk and venom into a physics-defying strike so fast that scientists needed high-speed cameras just to watch it happen.

Just one bite from a venomous snake could kill you. But what about drinking venom straight out of a glass? Cheers. What does snake venom consist of? How would swallowing it be different than being bitten?
