[Wandiwa]

Umpire adjudication: Are the above answers correct?
I think some are venomous but not poisonous.
Anybody care to correct me?

According to biologists, the term venomous is applied to organisms that bite (or sting) to inject their toxins, whereas the term poisonous applies to organisms that unload toxins when you eat them. This means that very few snakes are truly poisonous. The vast majority of snake toxins are transferred by bite.

 

[Lefty56]

Fair enough Wandiwa. Maybe you'd like to put forward a list. Cheers and Happy New Year
