Roll up, roll up. There's a fantastic new exhibition on at Terra Natura theme park in Benidorm. It's called 'Venomous Creatures' and features 44 examples of flora and fauna which use poison to either kill or subdue other living things.
All our old favourites are creeping, crawling and slithering about behind barbed wire fences – tarantulas, scorpions, albino cobras, a viper which can fell an elephant with one bite, the world's only poisonous lizards, and deadliest of them all, the unobtrusive mushroom!
Helpfully, Terra Natura, will also have the recipes for all the antidotes on hand and carefully displayed in the relevant places. The exhibition is free to enter once inside the theme park and will become a permanent feature of its attractions.
Now hands up anybody who thought this was going to be an article about 'The Weakest Link' and Anne Robinson?
Where am I?
