Wait. Snail venom? When did those things become venomous?

$10 says there are at least three different kinds of venomous snails native to Australia.

Yeah but that's Australia. They probably have venomous butterflies.

Cone snails (found in the sea) are venomous.

In that wiki article, it says back in 2004 fda approved pain killer extracted from said snails. The article is reporting 14 year old discoveries.
