Platypus January 31, 2008

1. The platypus, called kamonohashi in Japanese, is one of the strangest animals.
2. They have a bill like a duck and they have webs on their hands and feet, so they can swim very well.
3. They look very cute, but male platypuses secrete a deadly poison from the nails on their feet.
4. Although they are mammals, platypuses lay eggs.
5. They dig holes beside rivers to make their nest, and live in the nest alone.
6. Their nests are hidden by many plants, so finding one is extremely difficult.
