Venom and poison—wild cocktails of death that fuel our nightmares. But for nature, they are masterpieces of biological engineering. This documentary journeys into a chemical arms race that has raged for half a billion years, exploring the evolution of toxins from the first marine creatures to the most lethal animals on land. Meet nature’s ultimate alchemists: a tiny blue-ringed octopus whose venom can kill 26 humans, a hedgehog that is immune to scorpion stings, and the inland taipan snake, whose venom is potent enough to kill 100 adult humans in a single bite. Discover how venom and poison are used for both defense and attack and their surprising potential to cure human diseases. This is an incredible portrait of the world's most dangerous creatures and the toxic secrets that make them masters of their domain. #documentary #wildlife #nature #venom #poison #snakes #spiders #alchemists ---- The universe is vast, much like our imagination.
