I chose this article because it is interesting to me and can be useful to understand for both the general public and medical research. The article looks well written and sectioned off. There also seems to be a completeness of information without being overwhelming.

The lead section gives a clear definition of what venom is in the first sentence. It starts off broad and then narrows down into what animals use venom. The tone feels neutral as the article discusses the different type of venoms and how different animal groups use them. There is a good figure of one of the venom types to show the molecular structure. It also goes into the topic of animals developing resistance to venom which is a neat side to consider. The article is fairly-well developed, however one thing that could be added is the use of venom in medical research. Or, at least mention it.
