Check out Bizarre Beasts' episode on venomous mammals!    • How The Solenodon Became Venomous  

This video contains images and video of snakes and spiders.

It's possible Euchambersia possessed venom about 20 million years before the first lizards and over 150 million years before the first snakes evolved. We’ve teamed up Sarah Suta from Bizarre Beasts to explore the story of venomous mammals, both living and extinct.

Thanks to Julio Lacerda (  / juliotheartist  ) and Dmitry Bogdanov for their wonderful illustrations featured throughout this episode!

Special thanks to Julien Benoit for providing us with figures for this video!
