Many animal species stuff themselves with toxic chemicals for protection, which forces them to use a handful of distinct strategies to avoid becoming victims of their own weapons. LEARN MORE ************** To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords: - Antibody: a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances which the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood. - Globulin: any of a group of simple proteins soluble in salt solutions and forming a large fraction of blood serum protein. - Poison: a substance that is capable of causing the illness or death of a living organism when introduced or absorbed. - Venom: a poisonous substance secreted by animals such as snakes, spiders, and scorpions and typically injected into prey or aggressors by biting or stinging.
