There are more than 1200 species of venomous fish-outnumbering venomous snakes and all other venomous vertebrates combined! Scientists have discovered that two bog mummies buried at Cladah Hallan, Scotland, for 3000 years are actually assembled body parts of six different people! Less than 500 of Madagascar's plowshare tortoises are living in the wild, and some conservationists have started to deface their shells to reduce their value to poachers!

They used to make combs and brushes, knitting needles and guitar picks out of turtle shell.

But how many of those venomous fish can actually attack a human? Unlike snakes with fangs and scorpions with stingers, are they just passive, with poisonous skin or organs, or can they attack and kill their prey?

Animal rights people have been known to spray baby harp seals with green vegetable dye, to make their skins worthless to poachers, thus saving their lives. I’m hope the turtle shell thing works out too. Whatever works!

If only those bones could talk; what stories they’d tell!

“Wanna live? Get a tattoo!” Interesting.
Maybe the two mummies were Frankenstein creations.

It looks like they mixed up ‘Poisonous’ and ‘Venomous’. Someone needs to check a dictionary.
