This image is a 2x2 chart with the x-axis labeled "Poisonous" (pointing to the right) and the y-axis labeled "Venomous" (pointing upward). The four quadrants are labeled with illustrations of different entities: - **Top-left quadrant (Venomous, Not Poisonous):** A black mamba snake is illustrated, with the label "BLACK MAMBA." - **Top-right quadrant (Venomous and Poisonous):** A tiger keelback snake is illustrated, with the label "TIGER KEELBACK." - **Bottom-left quadrant (Not Venomous, Not Poisonous):** A ball python snake is illustrated, with the label "BALL PYTHON." - **Bottom-right quadrant (Poisonous, Not Venomous):** A snake plant is illustrated, with the label "SNAKE PLANT." The chart uses simple, stylized illustrations to depict each organism.
According to Forbes, “The tiger keelback is both poisonous and venomous. These terms, sometimes used interchangeably, have distinct meanings in biology. A simple way of remembering the difference between the two is that an animal is poisonous if you bite it and it makes you sick, while an animal is venomous if it bites you and makes you sick.”
