Record-breakers: the most venomous and poisonous, sentence 2
Some of the most dangerous are small and pretty: a tiny golden frog, a cone shell lying on the sand, a bird with poison in its feathers, so the safest rule is to look but never pick up a wild animal.
Who acts: Some, cone shell, safest rule · What happens: be, lie, not pick up · To what, where: sand, wild animal
