What is a platypus? Surprising Platypus Facts You Didn't Know. Animals. Facts

Once scientists discovered the platypus in Australia, its existence dealt the theory of evolution a death blow: only God could create such an unusual creature in all senses.

The nose of this amazing creature resembled a duck's beak ( where its name comes from), and it has five fingers on each foot that are connected by membranes. The creature's reptilian-like paws were arranged on its sides, and spurs were found on its hind legs, like those of a rooster.

The tail of this animal was not much different from the beaver's tail, and it also appeared that it lays eggs and can poison the enemy with its poison! And this is not a full list of amazing features of the animal, which is the unofficial symbol of the Australian continent depicted on a twenty-cent coin.

An unusual feature of the beak is that it is covered with elastic skin, which is a huge number of nerve endings. Thanks to them, the platypus, when on land, has an excellent sense of smell, and is also one of the mammals that can sense the weak electric fields that appear during the contraction of the musculature of even the smallest animals, such as crayfish.

This electro-location ability enables the animal, which is blind and deaf in the aquatic environment, to detect its prey by constantly turning its head in different directions while underwater.
