8. Snake Stealing Poison From Toad Frogs

Japanese Tiger Keelback or Yamakagashi are originally non-venomous. So they borrow the venom from toxin toad frogs while chewing on them and store the toxin in two nuchal glands on the back of their necks. Amazingly, while fighting off predators the poison named ‘bufadienolides’ travels to their fangs located at the back of their mouth. These clever snakes even modify the poison to make it more effective. If bitten you’ll suffer heart attacks and breathing difficulties and may even die in the process.
