Wannabe Vulcan
Everything about the platypus is weird.
I am not a number.
Rey, the eel isn't a mammal.
Edward
My pacemaker gives me a shot now and then. Bionic man.
Simon
And just to Add another Platypus fact . . . The Male has a poisonous spur !
caliro
Wow, just like a shark uses electricity!
That Cøunt, Ray Bumpkin
QT5, nobody spells rhinoceros with "ous", anywhere. Your comment about colour/color is spurious and irrelevant.
Lucy Lu
Not to mention that they lay eggs like an alligator? Right??
Simon
William, yes correct they are Monotremes but they are still considered Mammals
Capt Jack
a mammal that lays eggs and looks like eight different creatures
Arabeska
Simon, wow that's interesting 🤔🧐
Arabeska
Indeed it's a weird animal, but all its weirdness makes it unique... no other like it so far was discovered so it makes it very interesting to read more about it 😀

That Cøunt, Ray Bumpkin, That's MAIN Reason for omitting Word Games from all lists. CURB - AMERICA = Edge of walkway/ sidewalk
Which is to RESTRAIN something (Animal etc) in UK ENGLISH
Edge of walkway/ Footpath/ sidewalk in UK is ▪︎▪︎ KERB !
That's merely the tip of the iceberg !

Rosie-knees, not in England, the spelling is correct.

MLVBlueIce, that are mammals, the second one is echidna, 4 different kinds. The others are very different but I can recall how.
MrBaxton
Wannabe Vulcan, I agree. It's also weird that it's so weird.
Jinx
Rosie-knees, no, only USA spells it without the "u". The rest of the world spells it correctly. 😉

Platypus is one of two monotreme

HAL 9000, We all have chemical electricity in our bodies. Most of us find that out with the first electric shocks of deep nerve pain when we get old enough (40s) for sciatica.
KAYLA-UK
All these electricity and no bills.
KAYLA-UK
HAL 9000, Yes. Although not the extent Platypus can control and use daily.
C
It's almost as if the platypus was created by using left over body parts of other animals
Jackie
William, it's still a mammal along with the echidna
Jackie
Player #108436638, they are both
Jackie
Lucy Lu, yes the other mammal that lays eggs is the echidna
Jackie
Lucy, when I look at some birds I think the same thing. oh and then there are a couple birds that look like God had just a dab of lots of different colors and he threw them at the birds they are beautiful ❤️
Jackie
Wannabe Vulcan, including the venom the male has
Nigel SP
HAL 9000, nor the same as having electroreceptors
Nova
Lucy, or just lots of leftover parts.

Lucy,
I found that God or Mother Nature had a great sense of humor back when I was younger and had a headful of hair fast forward a few years into the future and I have hair growing everywhere except for the top of my head hahaha 😆
Player #108436638
Are they not monotreme rather than mammals alongside the echidnas

SOS
Wannabe Vulcan, And it's ours (Australian) lol 😆
