It would've been the other way around if we had founded of the platypus before becoming aware that there is a duck and a beaver. 'Oh this animal has a platypuses beak and they both lay eggs' 'And this animal over here has a platypuses tail and swims too.' 'What a coincidence?!!' 😨😬😉😵😱😱😱😱 Only being sarcastic. Don't take this the wrong way. 😋
