D&D 5E Druids, Wildshape & Special Abilities of Animals

[Strider1973]

Hi everybody: if a druid with wildshape assumes the shape of a poisonous snake, does he get also the capability to use the poison as a weapon to inflict more damage or conditions? Or if she assumes the shape of a wolf or a panther, can she use the pack tactics of the former or the pounce feature of the latter?
I couldn't find an answer in the PHB nor in the Sage Advice: what am I missing?
Many thanks and happy life and happy gaming

That's how it works in my games. Simply because it makes sense. Though I admit I've never bothered to look for the actual answer.

You replace your game stats with those of the beast. Special attacks are part of the beasts stats, you get them.
