"The bizarre appearance of this egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it...It is one of the few venomous mammals, the male platypus having a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom capable of causing severe pain to humans. The unique features of the platypus make it an important subject in the study of evolutionary biology and a recognisable and iconic symbol of Australia" Wikipedia

Platypus
The Platypus. A very strange creature. In my opinion, it looks like a rat with deformed feet that has gotten its mouth stuck in a duck bill. The platypus is a very unique creature.
