Venomous?

Hey Jaceil,

This honor should perhaps be renamed Venomous Animals. Poisonous animals cause sickness when they are eaten - venomous animals inject toxins. Here's a reference: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science/whats-difference-between-poisonous-and-venomous-animals-180956186/

I guess if the honor covers both poisonous animals and venomous animals we'd have to call it toxic animals? But I don't think that's a thing.

Hmm, I see. Spanish does not make a distinction between the two and uses the same word. But in English I suppose this makes more sense. THe honor has more to do with bites and use of antivenom, so venomous does make more sense. --w126jep (talk) 10:56, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
