This is an amphibian with a difference
Researchers have discovered snake-like venom glands in an amphibian for the first time – along the teeth of the little studied caecilian.
If further research can confirm that the glands do indeed contain venom, they say, the finding would push the evolution of a venom system in vertebrates back to 150 million years before snakes, though in a more primitive form.
