Pet platypus, anyone?

[Anonymous]

World's weirdest critter.



Duck's bill, and webbed feet.



Mammals physiology.



Egg layer.



Venomous glands.

They have poisonous glands?



I gather they have no enemies.

Feral cats are a big threat.

An underreported menace of Australia is the common magpie.



I caught this one plucking crickets from the crotch of a tree in my yard. Not terribly afraid, it began to strut around and belt out squawks.

Cheeky little bugger ducked behind the tree and gave me the nah nah nah nah Nah! eagle eye after I whistled at it.



They're smart and mostly harmless unless it's breeding season. Lots of people have been face or head attacked when they're feeling randy.

We have magpies here Dinky, but they have different colouring..



About the same shape and size though.

Are they as stoic and cunning as the ones here?



One can be driving 110 down a road approaching one that's eating something it can only see, and at the last second it backs off a foot or two either way, then casually resumes pecking at its bounty.
