 * Edit existing section on Evolutionary History and Paleontology of venomous mammals
 * existing section needs to be more precise.
 * more sources are needed to back claims that are stated.
 * I have more examples of genera and species that provide a deeper look into the evolutionary history and prevalence of venomous mammals in the fossil record.
 * I will add a paragraph on the evolution of venom in modern mammals.
 * after further reading, some claims are taken straight from the abstract of the papers cited? Rather than the information within the paper. I will update claims.
 * Section on Chiroptera seems unrelated, as vampire bats do not possess venom, but rather an anticoagulant in their saliva. More research on my part is needed to see whether or not this section be deleted or updated. Only one source is provided to back up the claim that vampire bats are venomous?
 * Similar issue with the section on Chemical defense, as chemical defense in the form of musk and spray is not venom.
 * This article features a relatively inactive talk page, in that it has not been meaningfully updated in >10 years.
