Opossum School


“Playing dead” is a defense mechanism adopted by the opossum and many other animals. To escape a predator, an opossum lies on its back and pretends to be dead. Most predators prefer live prey, and hence spare the opossum which they presume to be dead.

A Spitting Cobra's Nightmare!


Spitting cobras have a unique adaptation. whenever the snake is cornered by a predator such as a mongoose, a bird of prey, or any inquisitive large animal, it 'spits' venom from its fangs straight into the eyes of the predator with pin-point accuracy! the venom causes a burning sensation and even temporary blindness and forces the predator to retreat.
