PBS Eons has a new episode.  This one is about venomous mammals.

Check out Bizarre Beasts’ episode on venomous mammals! https://youtu.be/22qAEKXe8Lo​

This video contains images and video of snakes and spiders.

It’s possible Euchambersia possessed venom about 20 million years before the first lizards and over 150 million years before the first snakes evolved. We’ve teamed up Sarah Suta from Bizarre Beasts to explore the story of venomous mammals, both living and extinct.
