As a platypus lays eggs and produces milk, it’s the only animal that can make its own custard.
And echidnas.
I’m not sure if I’m and echidna custard or platypus custard kind of person.

No stomach? Hadn’t heard that one before
If something is too weird, some of the oddities tend to get overlooked.
Also well known for foiling evil plots while wearing a fedora.
The UV light thing wasn’t discovered (or at least published) until 2020.
Phineas and Ferb ended in 2015.And guess what color they fluoresce.
Valid reason to bring it back.
They did bring it back lol
Seeing living platypus is high on my bucket list, I’m still not convinced it’s not a hoax
You can just go see one at the zoo; they’re usually with the marsupials and chupacabras.
Sure they’re not with the pumas?
I thought you put capybara and just kinda thought you were also implying they were a pseudo SCP.
You’re very unlikely to see one in the wild, they’re nocturnal and their burrow entries are under creek banks
In zoos they live in the nocturnal animal section, probably swimming
It is worth mentioning that when the first stuffed sample of platypus was sent to Britain, the scientists thought it is a joke.
And some of those same scientists later organized a mass slaughter of thousands of platypuses in order to determine if the stories about them were true. Science, bitches!
it all started from laughter to slaughter.
And Dan Povenmire was the first to discover the florescence. People Perry the platypus was more scientifically accurate than you thought.

Ok who’s got pics of the glowing platypus?
Hell yeah
They also don’t have nipples (though do have mammary glands) and mother platypuses basically sweat milk through their skin for the pups to collect off their fur
what the fuck
The milk pools in grooves on the mother’s abdomen, allowing the young to lap it up.
So I guess that’s partly why most mammals’ milk glands are in the abdomen. Other than primates, I only know that elephants also have mammaries on the breasts
When you cheat and choose all the perks in the character creator.
YES!! This is the content in here to see.
Venomous? But…if not friend, why friend shaoed???
Just the males, iirc.
They have venomous spurs in their hind feet used in chasing off other males.
And their venom HURTS. They’re not particularly deadly or anything but their venom will land you in the hospital or at least laid up in bed for a while. My stepmother grew up out in the bush in NSW the ‘70s and received one of the few recorded platypus envenomations and she described it as the most painful experience of her life. She said childbirth was a breeze compared to the platypus sting!
I guess they subscribe to the “if they’re still alive, they’ll tell others how much it sucked, and we’ll be bothered less.” theory.
