The Platypus
The platypus is one of the most bizarre creatures on Earth. This Australian mammal is one of the few venomous mammals; males have a spur on their hind legs that can deliver a painful toxin. The platypus is also one of the only mammals that lay eggs. Adding to its uniqueness, it has a bill like a duck, webbed feet, and a tail like a beaver. The platypus uses electroreception to hunt, detecting the electric fields generated by its prey underwater. Despite its odd appearance, the platypus is a highly specialized and well-adapted predator in its environment.
