Falconina gracilis has a mild level of venom that it delivers through a bite with its fangs, primarily utilized for subduing prey rather than defense. Adult falconina gracilis are capable of envenomating, and while the effects on large animals like humans and dogs are usually negligible, smaller creatures such as mice and insects can experience more severe reactions based on the potency of the venom in relation to their size. The toxin serves both for predation and protection from predators.
