P-l-a-t-y-p-u-s. It is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia and Tasmania. It is one of the five species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young, of the few venomous mammals; the male Platypus has a spur on the hind foot which delivers a poison capable of causing severe pain to humans. The unique features of the Platypus make it an important subject in the study of evolutionary biology and a recognizable and iconic symbol of Australia.

Echidnas are egg laying mammals as well. Everything downunder seems to be extra weird or poisonous.
hehe, now I'm going to hide before the angry Aussies yell at me!
But it's kinda true!

It's a freak, but it's a mammal because it's warm-blooded and suckles its young. It's spelled Platypus.

The platypus is God's quilt....made up of remnants, yet still remarkable and charming in its own offbeat way. One named Zeke always pops in after school, and we catch up on each other's days and play parcheesi!
