they are hilars. i can't believe that is a real animal.

I’ve known about them since I was a kid, but have never seen a video of one. That’s crazy cool!

Ha ha yah -- they're pretty cool. The swimming! The bill! The whole critter is damn cute.

All of the egg-laying mammals (yes, there are more) are endemic to Australia. Australian biology is so fucking weird.

The only animals that can make their own custard.

Oh, shit. That had never occurred to me, but you're absolutely correct. That should be a bigger deal than it is.

Platypi have always been my favorite animal 😍

Fun fact: They produce milk, but do not have nipples. Yes, its as weird as you imagine.
