This Giant African rat coats its fur with POISON to KILL predators that bite it

The African crested rat (Lophiomys imhausi), also known as the maned rat, stands as one of nature's most extraordinary rodents, possessing a unique defense mechanism that makes it virtually untouchable in the savannah and forests of East Africa. This remarkable creature has evolved into a living chemical weapon, deterring predators through poisonous fur rather than speed or aggression.
