## About this book

"Some animal species have a deadly adaptation to protect themselves: poison! In this fascinating volume, readers will find out the difference between poison and venom and the animals that wield them both to deadly effect, such as the pufferfish, the poison dart frog, the cone snail, and the blue-ringed octopus. Beautiful color photographs, a helpful graphic organizer, and fact boxes with memorable information add to this high-interest and at-level text"-- Provided by publisher.
