The Bronx zoo had Penelope the Platypus, who was an absolute QUEEN. She hated the male platypus, Cecil. She faked a pregnancy. She escaped containment. Time Magazine wrote a weirdly misogynistic article about her. She deserves to be remembered.

Oh also:

Platypus mommies have modified sweat glands on their stomachs to get milk out for their babies to lick because turns out, breastfeeding with a beak is really fucking difficult.

Does anyone else who's openly into phineas and ferb regularly get asked to confirm or deny platypus facts??

Like I can confirm or deny your perry the platypus facts but not ones about regular platypuses 😭

The duck billed platypus is so strange looking that when the man who discovered it sent a taxidermied specimen back to the royal society in London, he was accused of sticking a bunch of different animals together to claim a new discovery. . One of only 2 species of extant egg laying mammals. . In the order Monotremata, so named because of the single opening which serves as urinary, defecatory and reproductive passage. . They lack nipples, so milk is excreted in patches on the mother's skin, which the babies must lick. . The males have a venomous spur on their hind legs, which is capable of incapacitating a fully grown adult human. . The pain of platypus venom can last anywhere from a few days up to a few months. Keith Payne, a former member of the Australian army, was hit with a Platypus spur on his hand, and described the pain as "worse than shrapnel". He still reported problems such as pain and stiffness with that hand 15 years later. . When threatened, they emit a noise very similar to a growl . They don't have teeth, instead relying on hard keratin pads for eating . They can detect prey by sensing electric fields, and they are drawn to minute electrical impulses such as those given off by muscles moving. . When on land, they walk on their knuckles to avoid damaging their front webbed feet . The females have 2 ovaries, but only the left one is functional . They are thought to have evolved beyond the use of an acid-filled stomach, likely because of their simple, insectivore diet. . . . . . . #platypusfacts #platypus #lettering #thicctype #micron #penandink #ornament #scriptlettering #graphicdesign #ornament #penandink #calligraphy #handlettering #typography #type #goodtype #tyxca #typetopia #designspiration @designspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJZdyrA52R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dn9boottl5nt

Shitty Animal Fact #46 :
