Well, the only venomous lizards in the world are the Gila monster, which is found in the Southwestern USA extending into Mexico, and the beaded lizard, which is from Mexico.  \n\nThere are lizards, such as the komodo dragon (Indonesia) that have bacteria in their saliva that can kill; but they're not technically venomous.  \n\nIf the animal is an amphibian (wet/slimy skin, smooth, not scaly); then yes, it is poisonous -- all amphibians are; the poison is in their skin/slime.\n\nAside from that, I'd suggest contacting a local Biology teacher at a college/university; or a local zoo if you have one.\n\nWhen in doubt, leave it alone; and good luck with your search!\n\nAdditional information, because "leviter" seems to think I'm making these things up:\n"Because of the bacteria, a Komodo's saliva is poisonous" - PBS documentary cited below.  "the toxic bacteria in their saliva will kill it within the next few days" -- Smithsonian National Zoo Website listed below. "Their saliva contains more than 50 different strains of bacteria that can result in the death of prey from infection even after only being bitten" -- Univ. of Michican Museum of Zoology\n\nVenomous lizards -- "The Gila monster is one of only two venomous lizard species in the world." -- from the Saint Louis Zoo website.  You can also check the Merck manual on "Venomous Lizards."\n\nAmphibian toxicity -- "All amphibian skin is poisonous to a degree. The major reason for this is to produce a bad taste to a potential predator. Some species of amphibians do have secretions that are toxic to humans and other animals, such as the poison dart frogs and other tropical frogs of the family Dendrobatidae." from the US Geological Survey Website\n\nLeviter's information comes from a single source, which holds credibility in that it appears in a peer-reviewed journal, Nature.  The article mentions that the lizards mentioned posess venom glands; but I didn't read whether they had actually retained a means of injecting said venom.\n\nAgain, find a local expert (zoo or university); but remember that wild animals typically won't go out of their way to harm you if you leave them alone & give them their space.

The absolutely most poisonous plant-like organisms are any number of mushrooms (yes, I know they're fungi, but they look like plants) that grow wild-many of them are fatally toxic with nothing more than a lick.  The greatest number of deaths occur from bee stings (anaphylactic shock)- Botulinum toxin is the most toxic substance on Earth, as mentioned.  Copperheads are more venomous ounce for ounce, but rattlesnakes are more dangerous because of the amount injected.  But you are asking "lethal", so- The cyanogenic plants, such as wild cherries, peaches, etc- If the leaves are cut correctly, or frozen on the vine, they generate high levels or hydrogen cyanide.  A handful of these leaves can kill a cow or horse, so I would say that those are the most lethally toxic.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venomous_mammals\n\nVENOMOUS MAMMALS INCLUDE:\n-Cuban Solenodon (Atopogale cubana) & Haitian Solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus):  These animals look similar to big hedgehogs with no coat of spines. They both have venomous bites; the venom is delivered from modified salivary glands via grooves in their second lower incisors.\n\n-Platypus (Ornithorhyncus anatinus) (but you know this already): Males have a venomous spur on their hind legs. Echidnas, the other monotremes, have spurs but no functional venom glands.\n\n- Northern Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina brevicauda) & Eurasian water shrew (Neomys fodiens):\n\nVENOMOUS/POISONOUS MAMMALS INCLUDE:\nSlow loris (Nycticebus coucang): Glands on the inside of their elbows secrete a toxin that smells like sweaty socks. They cover their babies in the toxin to protect them from predators, and put it in their mouths to give themselves a venomous bite, delivering the toxin via their lower incisors.

Taipans are large (up to 3 metres in length), fast, highly venomous Australian snakes, one of which, the Fierce Snake, has the most toxic venom of any land species worldwide. The name derives from that of the Thaypan tribe of Aboriginal people of central Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia.\n\nThere exist two species: the Common Taipan, and the less common Fierce Snake (also known as Inland Taipan and Small-Scaled Snake) (Oxyuranus microlepidotus). The Common Taipan is broken up into two subspecies, the mainland Coastal Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus scutellatus) and the Papuan Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus canni) which is native to the southern coast of Papua New Guinea. Their diet consists primarily of small rodents, especially rats.\n\nThe Coastal Taipan is usually pale to dark brown in colour, fading to a lateral cream, although juveniles are lighter in colour. The Papuan Taipan is black or purplish-gray, with a copper-coloured stripe on its back.\n\nIts the Inland Tapian

The only known predator of the world's most poisonous frog (Phyllobates terribilis) is a snake, Liophis ( Leimadophis ) epinephelus. This snake is resistant to the frog's poison but not immune.

The Elapids (the group of venomous snakes to which the cobras belong) only evolved about 15 million years ago.\n\nThe only snakes around in the Mesozoic would have been similar to the pythons and boas of today.\n\nThe largest group of living snakes, the Colubroids (which include the Elapids, vipers, sea snakes, garter snakes, king snakes, and most other groups of living snake) only evolved about 20 million years ago, making the late Cenozoic the era of highest adaptive radiation among the snakes.

A cobra is much more poisonous than a rattlesnake. If a rattlesnake bites you, you have a pretty good chance of living through it without any medical attention, although it is advisable to get medical attention.\nIf you are bitten by a cobra, medical attention and antivenom are necessary immediately.\nA bit of advice. First aid used to recommend the application of a tournquet between the bitten extremety  and the heart plus making an X incision 1/4 inch long and deep on the fang punctures. This is not a good idea as the incisions can cause more damage than the snake bite. The suction cups in a snakebite kit are good for sucking out the poison. If you try sucking it out by mouth, if you have a sore or some wound in the mouth, you can get poisoned, too.\n Application of an elastic bandage over the bite helps to prevent the poison from spreading through the body. Keeping calm is also a good idea as if the bitten person gets excited, the pulse rate goes up spreading the poison at a much more rapid pace.\nAbout 20 or so years ago, it was thought that electric shock, such as from a taser, would destroy the toxicity of the poison. I haven't heard anything about that for many years, so I don't think it worked very well.\nBe cautious around areas where there are known to be snakes, know what their habitat is and when they are likely to be about. \nIn the spring and late summer here in the northern U.S., the snakes shed their skin. At that time, they are the most dangerous because they can't see well.
