What is a "pincer"?

A pincer is a gripping organ found in various animals, including some crustaceans, insects, and arachnids. Typically, a pincer consists of two curved and pointed claws that are used to grasp and hold onto objects or prey. The claws are attached to the end of a limb or appendage, which can be moved to bring the claws together or apart. Pincers can vary in size and strength depending on the species, with some being strong enough to crush the shells of small animals or cut through vegetation. In many species, the pincers are also used as a weapon for defense against predators or rivals.

What is "venom"?

Venom is a specialized secretion produced by certain animals, such as snakes, spiders, and scorpions, that is injected into their prey or enemies through a bite or sting. It typically contains a mixture of toxic substances that can cause severe pain, paralysis, tissue damage, or even death. Venom is used by these animals as a defensive mechanism or to immobilize and subdue their prey, aiding in feeding or self-defense. The composition and potency of venom vary across different species, each tailored to their specific hunting or defense strategies.
