Description

In under just over 2 minutes, I'll be giving a crash course on animal venom. Surprising animals that are venomous (like the european mole + northern shrew!), what is venom, what is it used for (defence, predation, to help with feeding), how some venom can be toxic to us (like snakebites - it's considered a Neglected Tropical Disease by the WHO due to poverty and lack of access to antivenom), and some insights into how antivenom is made.
