Toxicofera

Toxicofera is a big group of animals that have some special parts in their kids' tummy to make them toxic, or poisonous, to their predators. This makes them safer from getting hunted and eaten by other animals. Some animals in the toxicofera group are snakes, lizards, spiders, and scorpions. They can make their own toxins, or they can collect toxins from other creatures they eat, like bugs or frogs. These toxins help toxicofera animals preserve their lives in the wild.
