Once while working in a school I actually fell out with a teacher who wouldn’t let me explain that a Platypus was a mammal to the kids, hope she’s read the explanation! 👍

Billy, They are very rare, maybe at risk. The spur on the paw is only used in self defence. I have only heard of one person being stung, she picked up the platypus to take it off the road, so it wouldn't get run over. I have only seen one once in the wild. Australians would not go near one in the wild out of respect. Only the males have the venous spur.

Australians never call it a "Duck Bill Platypus " , it is just Platypus.

The platypus is one of my favourite Australian animals in Australia 🇦🇺. There's a nice Platypus house in Tasmania.

FOXY , Poison is a toxin that gets into the body by inhaling, swallowing, or absorption through the skin. Venomous: it's when the toxin is injected into you

Simple process of elimination. Nothing else on God's Green Earth looks like a Platypus
