Why don’t poisonous animals poison themselves? - Rebecca D. Tarvin

Thousands of animal species use toxic chemicals to defend themselves from predators. Snakes have blood clotting compounds in their fangs, the bombardier beetle has corrosive liquid in its abdomen and jellyfish have venomous, harpoon-like structures in their tentacles. But how do these animals survive their own poisons? Rebecca D. Tarvin details the strategies that protect animals from themselves.
Lesson by Rebecca D. Tarvin, animation by Giulia Martinelli.

Maybe next it’s be nice to make a video about : Are there psychopaths amongst other species ? other living things including insects. lol that’d be interesting do animals commit suicidal out of grief ? ik that some go to extreme to protect or serve their colony/family/queen/etc. but what about out of grief

Is it possible that scientists are genetically experimenting to have the blue bottle jellyfish no-longer sting { humans } Or have the blue sea slug { otherwise known as Glaucus atlanticus, or blue dragon to scientists } have no poison against humans { and release them in plague numbers to diminish the population of blue bottle jellyfish } So it's safer to go swimming in hot weather ?

Well i really don't think about that before..😂
Animation's great as always, but I'm afraid there's a small mistake. When the snake finishes coiling in on itself (starting at 3:26), the eye makes a very weird jump to the wrong side of the mouth.
Hi TED! Thanks for this very informative vid. I hope you can do another video about Honey Badger/Ratel, and why they don't die after being poisoned by snakes and other poisonous animals.
