Millipedes are intriguing creatures that boast some fascinating characteristics. One little-known fact about millipedes is their remarkable defense mechanism. When threatened, many species of millipedes release a noxious substance called hydrogen cyanide. This toxic chemical acts as a deterrent against predators, such as birds or small mammals, by causing irritation or even poisoning. The millipede secretes the hydrogen cyanide from specialized glands located along its body. This defense mechanism helps protect the millipede from potential threats and showcases their unique adaptation to survive in their environment. It's a remarkable example of nature's ingenuity in equipping organisms with means of defense and survival.
