The platypus is one of the strangest animals on Earth.
It has the bill of a duck, the tail of a beaver, and the body of an otter — but that’s just the beginning.
It lays eggs.
It has no nipples — it sweats milk through its skin.
And the males? They're venomous, with spurs that can cause excruciating pain.
Even scientists once believed it was a hoax.
This isn’t science fiction. This is Australia’s ancient, rule-breaking survivor — the platypus.
In under 60 seconds, we’ll show you why this animal defies every law of biology… and still exists.
