Hello, welcome to cool facts about animals. Recently we got to see a really cool exhibit at a local

science museum called Staying Alive, the Fences of the Animal Kingdom. We got to interview the

person who's in charge of the exhibit whose name was Sarah. And in the exhibit, then we saw a lot of

different species of animals, each with their own defense mechanism.

Yeah, there was a big variety of animals and defense mechanisms.

I thought it was just really cool how well adapted all these animals were to their environment and the things around them.

Like, there was one animal, do you remember which one it was who could be venomous or poisonous?

I forget which, only when they were eating the ants, the poison.

It was the like bumblebee dark frog.

Bumblebee dark frog.

So they eat the poisonous ants that are in their environment, and then that gives them, was it poison or venom?

Like flamingos.

They eat pink things and then they turn pink.

Yeah.

But they're all really well adapted to their environment.

It was super cool.

The animals were beautiful and just really varied and we learned a lot.

So we just thought before going into our interview, we'd give a little overview of some of the defense mechanisms that we learned about.

One of them was poison.

If an animal is poisonous, then that means it's dangerous to eat.

Right.

So it's different than venom.
