The Platypus. It ain't no lion.

I remember a song about this lil fella from primary school(I expressed an interest so got given a ladybird book about it) and I think it turned up in yr 1 secondary school biology, It got a moody mention about being the only mammal laying eggs(twas true i guess back then) in animal classification.

Thing is, I asked my 14 yr old son and 10 yr old son about what they know. Is it that thing that looks like a duck and is it a type of beaver that lays eggs were the respective answers. the younger of the two meaning he had at least had a covering of it.

Venom/poison
Lays eggs
lives in water
feeds milk to its young
doesn't have tits

I love the big cats, but the weird little fucker could be used to inspire a whole new generation to look at something older, and lets face it something is missing somewhere .

Not an exciting thread but eh oh

There's also an insect called a platypus.

think i may have done in the zoo in the 70's but could be a false memory.

I know they are not primed for popularity, but if i life lesson can't be worked into the ugly interesting mammal, i'm not a leftie

Education is wasted on the young. teach em to avoid an unwanted bumming and to carry stuff. by 20 they should have grown bored of being cunts
