Despite its cute appearance, the Slow loris is the only known “venomous” primate in the world. Its venom is stored in an elbow patch: the loris will suck in the venom from the patch, then mix it around in its mouth before delivering a toxic bitepic.twitter.com/jmBcUpGrIQ

I'd like to think there's a non-venomous snake with elbows out there called the Fast Siroi.

Except the platypus is also venomous
-
A platypus is not a primate

That's what I get for reading while tired. It clearly says primate but I read mammal somehow.
-
Ermm... It's a marsupial.
-
marsa whatever that little bastard can stay the hell away from my house

Actually I was wrong. It's a monotreme. My goof.

How can he suck his own elbow???
-
I've been trying to lick my elbows but I can't, and I think maybe lorises can't either. The poison gland isn't at the tip of the elbow, but at the lower end of the upper arm, I think. I *can* rub my upper arms over my head. https://youtu.be/rLAQYpqUcbg https://youtu.be/YOyC6rEpHJk
-
I can ;)
-
It's not good enough to lick a few centimetres away: you must actually be able to lick the very tip of your elbow in order to qualify as a loris. Can you do this (to a third-party witness)? Also, do you go from the inner or outer elbow?
-
Outer.hang on I'll try and get a http://video.im not as flexible as I was as a teenager but my tongue does still come out an unnaturally long way
-
Edit: I can't do it anymore.
-
Phew!

You know when you pull a muscle,well your tongue basically is a muscle and I've done it multiple times and you really know about it when you do.
