What is venom delivery in snakes?
Quick Answer
Venom delivery is the way some snakes inject toxic saliva through specialized fangs to immobilize prey or defend themselves.
The Full Story
Venomous snakes use modified teeth, or fangs, connected to venom glands to deliver venom into prey or an attacker. The venom can affect nerves, blood clotting or tissues, depending on the species. Not all snakes are venomous, and not all venomous snakes are dangerous to humans, because venom potency and fang structure vary widely. Famous examples include vipers, cobras, kraits and coral snakes, each with different delivery systems and venom chemistry.
