Fun Platypus Facts: Learn More About One Of The Strangest Mammals In The World (Video)

"The platypus may be one of the strangest mammals in the world. Not only do these mammals lay eggs (just like all other monotremes) they also have a bird-like bill and they don't have nipples! They don't have teeth either (at least as adults)! The platypus is from Australia and is considered an aquatic mammal: it spends a lot of its time in water." Via Animal Fact Files.

These animals burrow using long claws on their super cute and super functional flippered feet. They're a little awkward walking on land, but they get by: they walk on their knuckles!  It's pretty darn cute, but also awkward, like the platypus. The platypus was nearly extinct 100 years ago, but today they're making a comeback with protections that are in place. Look out world!
