What's up? It is the time of the week where you sit down, relax and read my blog. Last week, I blogged about ants. I hope you guys enjoyed that blog because I had a great time writing it. For today's blog I am going to talk about venomous animals. We recently brought up the difference between venom and poison in class because we were learning about reptiles. But for my folks out there who do not know the difference, it is basically the form of receiving the toxin. Venom is injected through fangs or teeth and poison is delivered through touch or digestion. Venom sounds like it hurts more because the person has to be either bitten or stung. Some examples of venomous animals that I highly recommend staying away from are the king cobra, death stalker scorpion, stonefish and the Brazilian wandering spider. These venomous animals are not common in Kentucky so guys and girls thank god. I know I will thank god from keeping these venomous monsters out of Kentucky. However, there are venomous animals in Kentucky. These animals are either snakes or spiders. It is more common to find spiders around suburban areas but the snakes are found near the woods. For my fans out there who enjoy hiking or the woods, watch out for the timber rattlesnake. It is possible the largest venomous snake in Kentucky but, luckily, it is nonaggressive. Thus, do not be any idiot and try to start a fight with the timber rattlesnake because you will lose. Some venomous snakes stake out around the water. The western cottonmouth and western pigmy rattlesnake can be found near water. For the guys and girls who enjoy swimming in rivers or lakes, be cautious of these snakes. Now, the venomous spiders in Kentucky are the brown recluse and the black widow. Most people can identify these spiders because they possess specific characteristics. They are common around homes so be careful when digging through your garage or attic. Finally, stay safe and cautious of these devils.
