The dumbo octopus would never pose a threat to human safety in the way sharks or other predatory marine life might. They are nonthreatening because they have a unique way of eating – another difference between them and other types of octopi. Most octopi have mouths designed for chewing and ripping apart their food.

Bites to animals Redback spider bites are difficult to diagnose in pets unless witnessed. Dogs appear to have some resistance. They are at serious risk only if bitten many times, and rarely need antivenom. Cats are likely to be more susceptible and require antivenom, which can reverse symptoms very quickly.

Previously, venom was thought to be unique to Serpentes (snakes) and Heloderma (venomous lizards). The aftereffects of a Varanus bite were thought to be due to oral bacteria alone, but recent studies have shown venom glands are likely to be present in the mouths of several, if not all, of the species.

It does not form webs to catch its prey. Instead, it finds a sow bug and uses its giant chelicera to stab it in an ambush attack.

Primates (humans and monkeys) appear to be most susceptible, along with guinea pigs and mice. The spider's fangs are bigger than those of a brown snake (which are admittedly small at about 1 cm). The fangs (or chelicerae) are also very sharp and strong. They are allegedly able to pierce a fingernail and shoe leather.

Most deaths occur between six and 48 hours after the bite. If antivenom treatment is given within two hours of the bite, the probability of recovery is greater than 99%. When a bite occurs, the amount of venom injected is under voluntary control by the snake.
