There are no poisonous mammals as far as I can determine. A poison must be ingested (eaten) to cause harm. A venom must be injected to cause injury. There are several venomous mammals, especially some solenodons and shrews. However, these pose a danger only to quite small animals. The only venomous mammal that poses some danger to humans is the male platypus. Although not potent enough to be lethal to humans, platypus venom is nevertheless so excruciating that victims may sometimes be temporarily incapacitated.
