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??
Capt Jack
a mammal that lays eggs and looks like eight different creatures
KAYLA-UK

Simon

Rick
Tara Tippy., I'll send you a bill

Kitsu Moto, What's a black light, darkness?
Kitsu Moto
They glow under black lights. What could be the reason for that?
Cap’n Patch
Simon, yes because they are warm blooded.
Tara Tippy.
I'm a platypus.
BellaLatte
Rebecca , thank you for the explanation
Ray
I did not know this . It's never too late to learn something new .
Rufus
Rebecca , thanks for the description. I had never heard of echidnas before now. This game is truly educational.

GnarlyYeti, As far as I know, it's still correct in the USA.
Rebecca
Cat Mom, Echidnas are a marsupial, meaning they rear their young in a pouch. they're also a monotreme, meaning, like the platypus, they lay eggs. They are similar in appearance to a porcupine but can't eject their quills like a porcupine.
Cat Mom
Someone please tell me what a echidna is?!
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 !
JanJan
Wow, you learn something new every day lol.
GnarlyYeti
Rosie-knees, not in England, the spelling is correct.
Ruairi
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. 😉
MLVBlueIce
Platypus is one of two monotreme
Lionessa
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
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
