Platypus.

Someone brought up the platypus in one of my classes today and it dawned on me that I honestly know very little about these fantastic creatures. Therefore, I took it upon myself to become informed! And inform you!

-they only live in Eastern Australia
-they live on the edges of rivers and freshwater lakes

-males have a sharp, hollow, pointy spur inside both hind ankles which contains a very strong toxin that can be used against predators and is extremely harmful to humans

-can eat their own body weight in food in one night

-it is considered a mammal even though it lays eggs

And there you have it.
