What are 4 species of poisonous mammals?

In: Zoology or Animal Biology, Mammals [Edit categories]

Answer:

Cuban Solenodon (Atopogale cubana) & Haitian Solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus): Solenodons look similar to very large shrews. They both have venomous bites; the venom is delivered from modified salivary glands via grooves in their second lower incisors.

Platypus (Ornithorhyncus anatinus): Males have a venomous spur on their hind legs. Echidnas, the other monotremes, have spurs but no functional venom glands.

Eurasian water shrew (Neomys fodiens): Capable of delivering a venomous bite.

Northern Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina brevicauda): Capable of delivering a venomous bite.

Southern Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina carolinensis) & Elliot's Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina hylophaga): Possibly have a venomous bite.
