The Strangest Animal in the World: The Platypus!

This might be the weirdest animal in the world! Because every part of the platypus looks like it was stolen from another creature! With the tail of a beaver, the bill of a duck, and the fur and feet of an otter, this animal, despite being a mammal, lays eggs instead of giving live birth. It also feeds its young with milk, but since it doesn’t have teats, the milk seeps out through its armpits. Additionally, it’s the most venomous mammal in the world, though its venom only causes pain. The venom is found in spurs on its hind legs, so for it to sting you, you’d need to be behind it. Despite being semi-aquatic, its waterproof fur prevents it from sinking, so it has to keep moving underwater and close its eyes and nostrils. Though this makes it blind underwater, its soft bill is equipped with electroreceptors that allow it to sense the location of other creatures, much like sharks.
