Once this is answered correctly, I will give more facts on these animals.

I will only give the same person best answer twice a week. First to get 100% will get best answer. Feel free to look these up.

Answer 1

1.The Peregrine Falcon has been reported to reach speeds of up to 200 miles per hour during vertical dives.
2.Reticulated Python, Scientific: Python reticulatus
3. Their class is Mammalia (Mammals), their order Rodentia (Rodents), and their family is called the Chinchillidae (Chinchillas and Visachas).
4. Vinemouse? Do you mean venemous?
If you do, then it is false.
Cuban Solenodon (Atopogale cubana) & Haitian Solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus)
Solenodons look similar to big hedgehogs with no coat of spines. They both have venomous bites; the venom is delivered from modified salivary glands via grooves in their second lower incisors.

The calcaneous spur found on the male platypus's hind limb is used to deliver venom.Platypus (Ornithorhyncus anatinus)
Males have a venomous spur on their hind legs. Echidnas, the other monotremes, have spurs but no functional venom glands.

Eurasian water shrew (Neomys fodiens)
Capable of delivering a venomous bite.

Northern Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina brevicauda)
Capable of delivering a venomous bite.
Southern Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina carolinensis) & Elliot's Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina hylophaga)
Possibly have a venomous bite.

Venomous/poisonous
Slow loris (Nycticebus coucang)
Glands on the inside of their elbows secrete a toxin that smells like sweaty socks. They cover their babies in the toxin to protect them from predators, and put it in their mouths to give themselves a venomous bite, delivering the toxin via their lower incisors.

Chemical defense
Family Mephitidae
Skunks can eject a noxious fluid from glands near their anus. It is not only foul smelling, but can cause skin irritation and, if it gets in the eyes, temporary blindness. Some members of the mustelid family, such as the striped polecat (Ictonyx striatus), also have this capacity to an extent. Pangolins can also emit a noxious smelling fluid from glands near the anus.

5. Sailfish
