Cuban Solenodon (Atopogale cubana) & Haitian Solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus) Solenodons look similar to very large shrews. They both have venomous bites; the venom is delivered from modified salivary glands via grooves in their second lower incisors.

Platypus (Ornithorhyncus anatinus) Males have a venomous spur on their hind legs. Echidnas, the other monotremes, have spurs but no functional venom glands. Eurasian water shrew (Neomys fodiens) Capable of delivering a venomous bite. Northern Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina brevicauda) Capable of delivering a venomous bite. Southern Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina carolinensis) & Elliot's Short-tailed Shrew (Blarina hylophaga) Possibly have a venomous bite.

*** I did not edit the above statement because it is true, however "Venomous" and "Poisonous" are two completely different things. Venom is a harmful toxin injected via a bite or sting. Where as Poison is secreted through a gland or glands and is harmful to the touch or by ingestion. The two words are not interchangeable. I do not know of four "Poisonous" mammals, but I do know of one, The Slow Loris (Nycticebus Javanicus). ***
