There are 4 groups of mammals that use venom - solenodons and some shrews, platypuses, vampire bats and slow lorises. Slow lorises have a novel technique - they "lick an elbow gland, loading modified teeth with anaphylaxis-inducing venom." Clever. https://

This could be because, according to #Smith2016, catfish families have seen the most losses in the evolution of a venom apparatus in the phylogeny of fishes. Check out these articles for more info: https://t.co/5L6VOdn3Vk. https://t.co/qD7iCfcKhx #OCS4012 h
