Afaik humans eat all of those animals.

We eat everything, even ourselves. Just need a little seasoning

I'd say we eat almost everything. Aside from deep sea creatures, which are basically impossible to harvest for food, we tend to stay away from heavy poisonous species like the blue ringed octopus, poison arrow frogs, cone snails. But other than those pretty much anything goes.

I agree with you, but just to be that person:

To know something is poisonous, somebody had to have eaten it at least once.

Unless we can make a delicacy out of it.

Fugu anyone?

Some things surely also just taste like shit, so we don't eat those either. I'm just assuming, but, I can imagine.
