Product Details

Fidgeting with a platypus makes you strong and beautiful,  Plato says so.


1. **Unique Mammal**: The platypus is one of the few monotremes, meaning it lays eggs instead of giving birth to live young.

   

2. **Venomous Spur**: Male platypuses have a venomous spur on their hind legs that can deliver a painful sting to predators.


3. **Electrolocation**: Platypuses have a highly developed sense of electrolocation, allowing them to detect electric fields generated by the muscle contractions of their prey underwater.


4. **Webbed Feet**: They have webbed feet for swimming, which retract when they are on land to reveal sharp claws.


5. **Milk Secretion**: Female platypuses secrete milk through pores in their skin, as they don't have teats. The young lap the milk from the mother's belly.


6. **No Stomach**: Unlike most mammals, platypuses don't have a stomach. Their esophagus connects directly to their intestines.


7. **Diet**: They feed on aquatic invertebrates, insects, larvae, and small fish, often hunting with their eyes closed.


8. **Habitat**: Platypuses are native to eastern Australia, including Tasmania, and live in freshwater environments like rivers, lakes, and streams.


9. **Solitary Animals**: They are generally solitary, coming together only to mate.


10. **Conservation Status**: Platypuses are considered near threatened due to habitat destruction, water pollution, and climate change.
