Thanks to Hunter Forbes for this fantastic fact file!
It really is amazing to discover that the platypus lays eggs AND suckles its baby's with breast milk. No wonder the scientists refused to believe it at first.
And it's also incredible to think that they are venemous!
Does anyone know which ones are?
What part of this unique animal is venemous?
The spurs on their flippers. Spurs are little spikes where a thumb would be. Only males have them and only on their front flippers.
