Some friends and I were talking about poisonous creatures recently, prompted by 
sharing different experiences in Australia.  Problem is that I/we can't think 
of any poisonous creatures that are warm-blooded (lots of snakes, frogs and 
toads come to mind immediately).  And do we have to define poisonous as being 
different from venomous?  What do you think?

And thanks in advance!
