  3. Thanks, Jinan and Manahil. I enjoyed reading and learning from your responses. You came up with some very interesting facts that I didn't know about: 20 different kinds of poisonous snakes and 35 species of poisonous spiders? Wow. If I ever go there, I'll be sure to stay away from those! See you in class. -Ms L
