@doot platypus! Some years ago on birdsite I made a twenty tweet thread of interesting platypus facts (some of the ”facts” I made up).
But like… They are venomous, mammals that lay eggs, can sense electric fields, they have duck bills but they are born with teeth… Likey they are SO HECKING WEIRD it’s just super fascinating.
@prettyhuman @doot@glitterkitten.co.uk platypuses are the only animal to lay eggs and produce milk, meaning it is the only animal capable of making its own custard
@BigTittyBimbo @prettyhuman @doot all five living monotreme species produce milk and lay eggs. Platypuses are unique in being the only venomous mammal
@nico_forgot @prettyhuman @doot@glitterkitten.co.uk pls gimmie that custard biology. Tell me what these 5 are pls
