[malleableplatypus]

I love platypuses!!!!!

yooooo

Anyone got any good platypus articles?? Or books? Or any kind of informational material?

I need new platypus facts.

Btw, I'm primarily using "platypuses" as the plural here but I've seen just "platypus" be used as well. I've also heard that "platypodes" and "platypi" are technically correct, but are very rarely used. i like them all tbh

Ahh, the beautiful Ornithorhynchus anatinus. <3

What I know so far:

People thought they were fake when they were first shown to the Western public!

They glow greenish blue in UV light. (nobody knows why LMAO) - (also there's this like...... super cool glow in the dark platypus plush from natural habitat shorts that i want so bad)

Egg-laying Mammals (monotremes!!) - Fun Fact: The only other monotreme alive today is the echidna.👍 (there are different species of echidna tho)

They're one of the most evolutionary distinct animals on Earth and split from other mammals 166 million years ago (as of this article).

Use their bill to get around underwater as their eyes, ears, and nose are completely closed in the water. electroreception!!!! (yooo shark lovers wya)

They're REALLY good swimmers.

Baby platypuses are called PUGGLES!!!!

A group of platypuses is unofficially called a paddle!! It's unofficial since they're generally solitary animals.

Males have venomous spurs on their hind legs used only during mating season.

The females don't have nipples so they "sweat" milk for their puggles. - Fun Fact: This milk could be used to fight superbugs and save lives. freaking SICK!!!! /pos

The webbing on their front feet retracts to help them get around on land easier.

They don't have stomachs.

They are crepuscular (like cats!!!) which means they are most active dawn and dusk.

They are carnivorous!

They're endemic to Australia, meaning they're only found there.

They're either on or soon to be on the threatened species list due to global warming and habitat destruction. - Here's an article to learn more!! You can also help protect their habitat through this site. <3

Might've forgotten some stuff, but here's what I could remember!!

just looking for places to research more out of curiosity (because i LOVE these animals hbsgbhskjk)

I'm currently looking through articles on Firefox (and will be using the steps to fact check an article while doing so (#medialiteracy)) to learn more but I'd like to hear where and how you find your facts. :)

SUPER FUN FACT: There's an entire Wild Kratts episode on the platypus!! :D (wild kratts the GOAT) This episode is actually where my love of the animal first grew. :)

okay so at first i was genuinely looking for places to research but i ended up finding some on my own while making this post so this is mainly just a platypus fact post LMAO (buuuuuuut if you dooo have super cool facts that i dont know, link/tell me your resources >:D)

Our platypus are in crisis and need our help.

A city mourned the death of one animal, but is Australia putting the platypus in peril?

The puzzle of the platypus: could time be up for this iconic Aussie animal?

With bizarre physiology and an equally strange collection of genes, the platypus is like no other animal. But, after more than 120 million years of evolution, could time soon be up for this unique Australian.

it is heartening that in just the past few years we've increased our understanding of platypus lifespan. the wikipedia page for plats is still shockingly inaccurate and out of date, saying

"In captivity, platypuses have survived to 17 years of age, and wild specimens have been recaptured when 11 years old."

as of 2004 we've had a wild platypus on record at 21 years of age, and as of 2024 we know a wild plat can be 24 years or more. oldest plat is still Fleay, a female at healesville who turned 30 last october. she's very elderly but definitely alive. like a 90something human.

all of which is to say, someone really needs to update the platypus wiki page to reflect this but it's protected so i can't, lol. maybe i'll mention this on the talk page

One of my personal head-canons is that when Chuck was forming the animals of the world he asked all the angels to pitch in and create some animals of their own. So he obviously asked the archangels first, so I like the idea that Gabriel created platypuses, giraffes, kangaroos and seahorses.

Going along with this idea, I also think that Gabriel gets really happy whenever he hears people refer to them selves as seahorse dads (a term that pregnant trans men call themselves).

Castiel probably created a lot of cat species (tigers, panthers, lions, bobcats etc.) which is why he likes cats so much.

AND- I also believes that certain animals love their angel or archangel creators. So stray cats nuzzle up to Castiel’s leg whenever he’s near an alleyway. At victims homes their pet kitties jump onto his lap happily. And on one weird case investigation, a cougar licked his hand and moved aside after Cas asked if he, Dean and Sam could go through. Dean and Sam asked him about it later and Cas simply responded “She was just protecting her cubs, I assured her we meant no harm.”

This goes for Gabe too. He’s out on a lunch date with Sam or something and snaps them to the zoo because Sam says he’s never been. So they eventually get to the giraffe exhibit and Sam’s trying to take a picture of them but they’re so far away they won’t face his camera. Obviously, Sam being sad and pouty for the rest of the day because he can’t get the photo he wants won’t do so Gabe goes up to the railing and yells out to one of the Giraffes. It turns around immediately and starts walking over towards them along with all the others in the exhibit, Sam stands there in shock and watches as Gabriel rests his hands on the giraffes face lovingly then looks back at Sam, “c’mon Samela, Take a picture their posing for you”

Did you know? Platypuses Fluoresce Under UV Light! Their dense fur protects them in cold water and normally appears to be brown. However, under a black light (ultraviolet light) it glows teal. Unlike the presence of venom, which only the males have, all platypuses possess this biofluorescence. This was only just discovered in 2020. They are one of just a few mammal species known to have this trait.

Why do all your female disassembly drones have the stick leg thing going on? Isn't the captain supposed to have the boot leg thing? I feel like that makes it more confusing to tell which one is supposed to be the group leader.

No, the stick vs. boot leg thing is a gender difference. Pretty sure Liam himself has confirmed this in the past before.

Also, that wouldn't really work out for canon, either. I might be misremembering because it's been a while since I've seen the pilot episode, but I'm 99% sure that when N was telling Uzi about J and V, he referred to J as the squad leader. So by that logic, wouldn't J also have the boot leg thing going on? (But then again, I guess there's also male J from the concept arts that does, but then in this scenario it wouldn't make sense for N to have the same legs if J is the leader.)

Kinda stronger evidence for it being a gender thing. And that's basically why mine are like that, though I do have some exceptions to the rule.

Fish being the first. I adopted him a while ago and based on his design, I think he was originally intended to be a girl. He's got the stick leg thing going on. But in his case, (lore-wise) it's due to him being a water-based drone and they're acting more like stilts based on him living in and traversing water environments.

Then there's Proto, who was basically built as a prototype for the Disassembly Drones. (In AU canon, they were the first Cyn grabbed and experimented on.) They have neither, instead being given animal-like legs.

J4D3 sort of counts? He was built to be a counter to the Disassembly Drones, so he was somewhat based off their designs. People could see the gender differences between them, but weren't sure if there were any physical differences as a result (like how a lot of female animals are typically larger and stronger than the males due to the need of protecting their babies, or like how only male platypuses have venomous spurs on their feet). And for that reason, J4D3 was built with a more androgynous build as a way of attempting to take advantage of any perceived difference. He's more defensive than offensive, so it made more sense go to more towards the boot feet than the stick feet.

And the Nuclear Drones were also based off the Disassembly Drones for a similar reason as J4D3. Their designs were more or less ripped off, but the difference is that the scientists who built them thought the stick leg thing was dumb and impractical, so they gave Rei the same boot feet as her teammates, despite her being a female. (Honestly kinda agree with the "it looks dumb and impractical" angle, ngl. lol)

Worst nightmare for a female Disassembly Drone is walking outside, needing to walk across one of these, and not being able to just fly over it for some reason.

Bet their feet will get stuck in those little holes.

Dogs are often thought of as humans’ best friends. But in Australia, they’re partnering with people to save other species from grave threats to the island continent’s unique fauna.

In Brisbane, dogs are sniffing out koala scat (and the animals who expel it) in habitats fragmented by wildfires and urbanization. Pinpointing the marsupials’ whereabouts allows researchers to map out the forest tracts that must be restored and reconnected to protect them. Farther north, on Queensland’s Woongara Coast, canines are tracking down—and taking out—invasive foxes that have devastated sea turtle nesting sites. Across the country, these canine conservationists are being employed to do everything from protecting little penguins from predators, to detecting rare platypuses, to aiding Tasmanian devil breeding efforts.

Round L4, Poll #21

Remember, this is the losers bracket. We are matching up the winners of round L3. The winner of this poll will move on to round L5 against a loser from round W2, and the loser will be revealed.

Character 109: This is a character you don´t want to see mad. Once upon a time they were a bright eyed idealist. Now they are a war criminal - and still a bright eyed idealist. You have to be if you think you can realistically overthrow the government. Of course nobody is allowed to know that they are trying to overthrow the government so they constantly are slacking and flirting on government time. And the child-soldier/blackmail thing is really just to protect the child soldier in question.

Character 99: Takes care of her dad and always looks cute doing it! She knows an awful lot about platypuses and is a trivia buff. An amateur songstress, she’s well known for her take on a popular in universe song. She loves friends and her family and is particularly fond of her older brother. If you heard that she died, no she didn’t. :)

I'm a fan of fakemon, fan-made Pokemon, and how creative they can be. I've come up with some ideas of my own for a fakemon region based on a mix of Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand and I want to share them. I've also been learning how to use a drawing tablet and have made some concept art. I am very bad at drawing, but it's something. I'll start with the starters.

The grass starter is Womaca, the wombat Pokemon, grass-type. It is based on a combination of a wombat, a glyptodon, and a macadamia nut.

They eat so many nuts that a hard nut shell grows on their backs. They are shy creatures that rarely leave their burrows and never venture too far away. If threatened, it will dig into the group and hunker down, leaving only its shell exposed. Its name comes from "wombat" and "macadamia".

Womaca evolves into Petramaca, the wombat Pokemon, grass/rock type. The nut shell on its back has hardened into petrified wood, increasing its defenses. Because of this, it is braver and will venture farther from its den, but is still easily startled. The moss growing on its shell has medicinal properties. Its name comes from "petrified wood" and "macadamia".

The final stage is Dipwoodoo, the diprotodon Pokemon, grass/rock type. It is based on the diprotodon, a giant, extinct wombat relative and hoodoos, my favorite geological feature. They are tall spires of rock formed when soft rock erodes away, leaving harder rock behind. Its name comes from "diprotodon", "petrified wood", and "hoodoo"

Dipwoodoo now has little fear as its size and shell give it few natural predators. It is now a gentle giant that no longer fears leaving its shelter and rarely picks fights. Ancient people used to carve petroglyphs into its shell.

For the fire starter, I went back to the idea that most fire starters are based on animals from the Chinese zodiac. For an Australia-based region, what else could I use but a dingo? The whole line is based on aboriginal lore where dingos were seen as companions and guardians who often protected people from evil spirits.

The first stage is Dingup, the dingo Pokemon, fire-type. Its name comes from "dingo" and "pup". It acts brave, but is often shy. It seems to notice things that nobody else does, making people believe it can see spirits.

The second stage is Dingunji, the dingo Pokemon, fire-type. Its name comes from "dingo" and "bunji", a work in multiple indigenous languages that means "close friend" or "kinsman" It is wild and rebellious, but truly values its friends and will always remember its home, no matter how far away it roams. It is believed to chase dangerous spirits away from its friends.

If Dingunji is the rebellious teenager stage of the line, then the final form of Warrighul (the shaman Pokemon, fire/psychic type) is the adult who has settled down and rejoined the community. It is much calmer than Dingunji and acts as a guardian of its community, protecting them from dangerous spirits. Its flame can be seen in both the real world and the spirit world and can burn spirits, causing them to flee. At the same time, it can commune with friendly spirits and will act as an aid to shamans. It's name comes from "warrigal" (another word for dingo), "warg" (supernatural wolves in norse mythology), and "ghoul".

Finishing with the water starter line, I've given this one more of a Maori basis and I'm kind of concerned about it possibly being insensitive so if anyone out there is or knows Maori and reads this, let me know what you think, please. I mean absolutely no disrespect. This line is based on the platypus and all three are water/poison type due to male platypuses having venomous spurs on their hind feet.

The first stage is Platox, the platypus Pokemon. It is a skilled swimmer, but is clumsy and slow on land. All four of its feet have retractable red spurs that inject venom into whatever they stab. Its name comes from "platypus" and "toxic".

The second stage is Platypatu, the platypus Pokemon. It can now stand on two legs or four and has become much more adept on land. Its spurs have become Assassin's Creed-style retractable wrist blades. Its tail is shaped like a patu, a Maori weapon shaped like a paddle, and can be used as a club. It fights in a dancing motion, striking with its tail and spurs. Its name comes from "platypus" and "patu".

The final form is Hakotiave (may shorten that), the dancing Pokemon, and it's where my poor art skills really show. It's supposed to look like a buff humanoid but you'll have to use your imagination. Its name comes from "haka" (traditional Maori dances"), "kotiate" (another Maori weapon), and "venom". It it known for its love of dance and has distinct dances for every occasion, including celebration, communication, and intimidating enemies. When two fight, they will have a dance battle until one submits. They fight in graceful dancing motions using their retractable spurs and kotiate-shaped tails. It has curved markings on its face and body that grow darker as it gains more experience. These are based on Maori Tā Moko tattoos.

That does it for my starters, at least the first set. There will be a second set similar to how in X and Y you can pick one of the Kanto starters partway through the game. Those will have to wait for another post. That is, if anyone is interested in seeing more of my fakemon. I also have some OC Digimon I need to draw sometime.

Scientists in Australia made an incredible reproductive discovery: 17-million-year-old sperm. The male sex cell was found in the fossilized remains of freshwater crustaceans, known as ostracods.

The sperm themselves are an extraordinary find. They were thought to be longer than the male shrimplike creature's body, but were tightly coiled up inside the sexual organs.

. . .

“The Riversleigh fossil deposits in remote northwestern Queensland have been the site of the discovery of many extraordinary prehistoric Australian animals, such as giant, toothed platypuses and flesh-eating kangaroos," Archer said in a statement from UNSW. "So we have become used to delightfully unexpected surprises in what turns up there."

. . .

Just as bizarre as the discovery is how scientists think the fossil was preserved: bat poop.

Professor Archer explains: “About 17 million years ago, Bitesantennary Site was a cave in the middle of a vast biologically diverse rainforest. Tiny ostracods thrived in a pool of water in the cave that was continually enriched by the droppings of thousands of bats.

"The phosphorus from the stream of bat feces mixed with the water and helped preserve these fossils. Bat droppings have also helped preserve fossils in France.

This is an old article, but I thought it might be new and interesting to other people to.

Ostracods, or ostracodes, are a class of the Crustacea (class Ostracoda), sometimes known as seed shrimp. Some 70,000 species (only 13,000 of which are extant) have been identified,[1] grouped into several orders. They are small crustaceans, typically around 1 mm (0.039 in) in size, but varying from 0.2 to 30 mm (0.008 to 1.181 in) in the case of Gigantocypris. Their bodies are flattened from side to side and protected by a bivalve-like, chitinous or calcareous valve or "shell". The hinge of the two valves is in the upper (dorsal) region of the body. Ostracods are grouped together based on gross morphology. While early work indicated the group may not be monophyletic[2] and early molecular phylogeny was ambiguous on this front,[3] recent combined analyses of molecular and morphological data found support for monophyly in analyses with broadest taxon sampling.[4]

Did you know the peregrine falcon is the fastest bird in the world? It can hit speeds over 186 miles per hour when diving to catch prey. This fact leads us to explore peculiar animals that start with the letter P. These creatures have fascinating behaviors and live in unique places. You might be interested in the majestic polar bears, the incredible platypuses, or the elusive Pallas's cat. Let's dive into the world of these peculiar animals starting with P and learn their stories. Key Takeaways The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird, reaching speeds over 186 mph. Polar bears are the largest land carnivores and classified as marine mammals. Piranhas, though fearsome, mainly eat smaller animals and plants. Platypuses are egg-laying mammals, making them uniquely special. Pandas consume up to 30 pounds of bamboo daily. Pallas's cat survives in harsh climates with its thick fur coat. Porcupines can raise and lower their quills when threatened. Introduction to Peculiar Animals Peculiar animals capture our imaginations, showing us the vast diversity of life on Earth. Those starting with the letter P have amazing traits and behaviors. For example, the Platypus is not just duck-billed but also venomous, showing how unpredictable evolution can be. Learning about these animals helps us see their important roles in nature. The Pacific Walrus is a key sign of ocean health, while the Pacific Herring supports many food chains. Protecting these species is vital for their survival and the balance of nature. Exploring these fascinating creatures deepens our understanding of their behaviors and how they adapt. From the fast Peregrine Falcon to the social Pacific White-Sided Dolphin, these animals show the beauty of life. Their oddities teach us about the importance of diversity, encouraging us to learn more and appreciate nature. https://youtube.com/watch?v=qt1D1C2gJgM Commonly Known Animals That Start With P Animals that start with the letter "P" are quite diverse, from land creatures to sea animals. They play big roles in their ecosystems. Let's explore some well-known and interesting p animals. Pacific Halibut The Pacific halibut lives in the North Pacific Ocean. It can grow up to 8 feet long and weigh 500 pounds. It has a special look with dark brown on one side and white on the other. This helps it hide on the ocean floor from predators. Anglers love to catch this fish, making it a popular sea creature starting with p. Pacific Herring Pacific herring are known for their shiny bodies. They live in schools in the North Pacific Ocean, at about 1,300 feet deep. These fish can be 8 inches long, but some can reach 18 inches. They are a key part of the ocean's food chain. This makes them one of the common animals starting with p, important to both predators and prey. Pacific Walrus The Pacific walrus is known for its huge size and long tusks. Adult males can be over 2,000 pounds, with tusks up to 3 feet long. They are often seen on ice floes in the Arctic, showing how they adapt to tough environments. This species is a big deal, known for its social nature. Pacific White-Sided Dolphin Pacific white-sided dolphins are loved for their playful and acrobatic acts. They have dark stripes and can live for about 40 years. They often hang out in groups of up to 100. Their social and smart nature makes them one of the charming sea animals starting with p.

These animals have special features that help them survive. They show how diverse the animal kingdom is.

Platypus The platypus is one of the most unique animals starting with p. It's from Australia and can lay eggs, which is rare for mammals. It looks like a mix of a duck and a beaver, with a bill like a duck and webbed feet. Male platypuses also have a venomous spur. This makes them even more interesting. Pygmy Goat The pygmy goat is another unique animal starting with p. They are small and playful, making them very interesting. These goats can live in different places and are great climbers. They are also very curious, which makes them fun to be around. Pink Fairy Armadillo The pink fairy armadillo is one of the rarest creatures. It's the smallest armadillo and lives in central Argentina. Its pink scales and night-time activities make it hard to find. These features show how well it has adapted to its home. It's a reminder of the amazing things in nature. Animals That Start With P in the Ocean In the vast oceans, we find fascinating marine life that starts with "P". These ocean animals that start with p have unique traits and habits. Let's explore some of them. Puffin The puffin is a seabird known for its bright colors and special beak during breeding. They live near coasts and spend much time at sea. They eat fish and small sea creatures. Puffins are great at diving and swimming. This makes them skilled hunters in the ocean. Pelican Pelicans are big birds with a wide wingspan and a unique look. They have big pouches that help them catch fish and water. This makes them excellent at fishing. Their fishing method is a great example of how ocean animals adapt. Piranha Piranhas are known for their sharp teeth and strong jaws. They mostly eat smaller sea creatures. Piranhas might look scary, but they're not a big threat to people. They play an important role in the ocean. Learning about these p animal names in water helps us appreciate ocean diversity.

The peacock and the porcupine are two examples of iconic land animals that begin with p. They have unique traits that help them fit into their environments. Peacock The peacock is the male of the peafowl species. It's known for its stunning tail feathers. These feathers play a key role in attracting females during mating. Males show off their feathers, displaying vibrant patterns and colors. This can mesmerize anyone who sees them. The peacock's traits show how animals adapt to survive and reproduce. Porcupine Porcupines are big, gentle rodents with unique spiky quills. They use these quills to defend themselves, but they don't usually attack others. These animals that start with p have interesting behaviors. They climb trees to get away from predators or to find food. The porcupine's survival strategies show how different animals can adapt to their environments. AnimalHabitatNotable TraitPeacockTropical and subtropical forestsColorful tail feathersPorcupineForests and grasslandsSharp quills for defense Exploring P Animals List Exploring animals that start with the letter "P" shows us both well-known and endangered species. The list of popular p animals includes pets and wildlife we love. Yet, some face big challenges to survive. Popular P Animals Many animals in this group are well-known to us, often found in our homes or on TV documentaries. Some examples are: Puppies: These playful friends are loved for their loyalty and love. Parrots: With over 360 unique species, these colorful birds are smart and can copy sounds. Pigs: Known for their smarts and social ways, pigs are common on farms in the U.S.

Pandas: As symbols of protecting wildlife, giant pandas touch many hearts. Rare and Endangered P Animals Some endangered species starting with p need urgent protection. Here are a few examples: Philippine Eagle: This big bird of prey is losing its home. Pygmy Three-Toed Sloth: This sloth is in big trouble and lives only on a few islands near Panama. Pangolin: Pangolins are hunted for their scales, making them one of the most traded animals. Prairie Chicken: This bird's numbers are going down, showing the need to fix grassland habitats. Efforts in p animals conservation aim to tackle the big challenges these species face.

Paddling with Percey and Penny

Percey and Penny were two platypusses who gathered often in the same group of platypi known as a paddle. The particular paddle in which they met was a proud and exclusive group known as the Platters.

Every morning as the sun peeked over the eucalyptus trees and the river glistened, the Platters would meet and converse about the joy of being platican. Sometimes the paddle would split off into male and female groups. The females like Penny always seemed to return to the joy of building a burrow laying eggs, watching the eggs hatch, proving a nurturing atmosphere and nursing the tiny, hairless blind puggles for a year until the puggles are ready to leave the burrow and seek a mate of their own.

The male groups were more about bullshitting and bragging. Percey listened to tales of breeding battles with venomous claws. They all agreed that it was a relief to get away from all those tiresome tales of burrows, egg laying and puggles. In their masculine environment, they felt free to talk about their adventures "downriver" and the responsibility of protecting the females and the puggles from the eagles, hawks, eels and humans who were a constant, often deadly pain in the ass.

The males enjoyed talking trash accusing each other of looking like a duck or looking like an otter or having less venom in their claws or too much fat in their tails or not enough electroceptors in their bill to use in murky water let alone the dark of night so they had to swim with their eyes open. etc etc etc. Except for breeding season, they all got along very well.

Percey had heard all this before and gave as well as he got but on this day, he had Penny on his mind.

The paddles broke up. Percey kept his elecgtroceptors on Penny.

With a deep breath, Percey submerged himself underwater, positioning himself just below Penelope, who was leisurely paddling near the surface. Taking a moment to gather his courage, he released a series of soft, melodic vocalizations, a symphony of chirps and clicks that reverberated through the water.

As the sound waves traveled, they carried a message, a declaration of Percey's affection and intentions. The intricate pattern of his vocalizations was not just a random assortment of sounds; it was a carefully orchestrated melody, a Platypus Serenade designed to captivate Penelope's heart.

Above the water's surface, Penelope paused, her attention captured by the mesmerizing sounds emanating from below. Intrigued and entranced, she descended closer to Percey, her curiosity piqued.

As Penny glided through the water, her thoughts were a blend of curiosity, surprise, and a hint of excitement. The morning's serenade had caught her off guard, its melody weaving a spell she hadn't anticipated.

"Percey," she mused, rolling the name over in her mind. They had shared moments as part of the Platters, but today felt different. The river, usually a place of routine and familiarity, now held a new energy.

She remembered the tales shared among the females, the stories of courtship, the bonds formed, and the challenges faced. Her own mother's tales of love and partnership echoed in her mind. Could Percy be the one to share such a bond with her?

Yet, doubts lingered. The complexities of platypus life, the dangers of the river, and the ever-present threats from predators were realities she couldn't ignore. Was she ready for such a commitment? And what did Percy truly feel?

She found herself drawn to his display, the graceful movements, the heartfelt chirps. It spoke of sincerity, of genuine affection. A part of her longed to respond, to let him know that his efforts hadn't gone unnoticed.

But there was also a part that hesitated, that questioned the implications, the potential consequences. The dance of love among platypuses was intricate, and she wondered where this particular dance would lead.

As the waters around her shimmered with the morning light, Penny took a moment to reflect. Whatever the future held, today marked a shift, a moment that would linger in her memory, a serenade that had sparked a myriad of emotions and possibilities.

Percey, sensing Penelope's proximity, began his mating display, a balletic dance of twists and turns, his webbed feet gracefully propelling him through the water. His bill, usually firm and stoic, now moved with fluidity and grace, tracing patterns in the water as he circled Penelope, his movements synchronized with his vocalizations.

The display was a blend of beauty and emotion, a testament to the depth of Percy's feelings for Penelope. Each chirp, each movement was a heartfelt expression, a celebration of their species' unique courtship rituals.

As the final notes of the Platypus Serenade faded away, Percey and Penelope shared a moment of connection, their eyes meeting in the dim underwater light. It was a moment of understanding, a recognition of the bond forming between them.

At the next meeting of the female paddle, Penny would have a lot of questions and at the male paddle Percey would feel like the king of the river, defender of the burrow.

Body Shape: The platypus has a streamlined, elongated body similar to that of an otter. Its body is covered in dense, waterproof fur that varies in color from a dark brown to a lighter shade, often with a silvery sheen.

Tail: The platypus has a broad, flat tail that resembles that of a beaver. The tail serves as a rudder while swimming and is also used to store fat reserves.

Head: Perhaps one of the most distinctive features of the platypus is its head, which is flattened and resembles that of a duck. The head is relatively small compared to the body.

Bill: The most iconic feature of the platypus is its bill, which is wide, flat, and rubbery. The bill is similar to that of a duck's but is softer and more pliable. It is also equipped with electroreceptors, allowing the platypus to detect the electrical signals produced by its prey in the water.

Feet: The platypus has four webbed feet, which are equipped with claws. The front feet are particularly adept at digging and are used to create burrows in riverbanks where the platypus rests and shelters.

Venomous Spurs: Male platypuses possess venomous spurs on their hind legs. While not immediately visible, these spurs are used primarily during the breeding season for competition between males and can deliver a painful sting.

In summary, the platypus is a mosaic of features from various animals, making it one of the most unique mammals on Earth. Its appearance is a testament to millions of years of evolutionary adaptation to its aquatic environment.

they also have an electrical system like sharks for locating their preyChatGPT

ChatGPT

Yes, you're right! The platypus possesses a remarkable ability known as electrolocation, which is similar to the system found in sharks. This sensory system allows the platypus to detect the tiny electrical fields produced by the muscle contractions of its prey, primarily aquatic invertebrates like worms, insect larvae, and freshwater shrimp.

Here are some key points about the platypus's electrolocation system:

Electroreceptors: Located in the skin of the platypus's bill, there are specialized electroreceptors called "electroreceptor organs" or "ampullae of Lorenzini." These receptors are tiny, gel-filled pores that are sensitive to electrical stimuli.

Hunting Technique: When the platypus swims, it closes its eyes, ears, and nostrils and relies on its bill to detect the electrical signals produced by its prey. As it forages along the riverbed or riverbank, it can sense the tiny electrical fields created by the movements of its prey, allowing it to locate and capture food even in murky water or at night.

Unique Adaptation: The electrolocation ability is a unique adaptation that gives the platypus a distinct advantage in its aquatic environment. It's especially useful for a creature that hunts primarily by touch and has a flattened, duck-like bill that's not suited for rapid or agile movements.

The combination of electrolocation, tactile sensitivity in the bill, and excellent underwater maneuverability makes the platypus a highly specialized predator, perfectly adapted to its freshwater habitat.

when is their breeding seasonChatGPT

ChatGPT

The breeding season for platypuses varies depending on their location within Australia, but it generally falls between June and October. Here are some key points about the platypus breeding season:

Southern Hemisphere Timing: Since Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, the breeding season occurs during the cooler months when water temperatures are favorable for nesting and raising young.

Males' Display: During the breeding season, male platypuses become more territorial, especially in areas where multiple females might be present. Males establish dominance and compete for access to females.

Females' Nesting: Female platypuses build burrows in riverbanks or other suitable locations. They construct a nest chamber within the burrow where they lay their eggs.

Egg-Laying: One of the unique aspects of platypus reproduction is that females lay eggs rather than giving birth to live young. A female typically lays one to three eggs and incubates them by curling around them to keep them warm.

Hatching: The eggs hatch after about 10 days, but the young, called "puggles," are tiny, blind, and hairless. The mother continues to nurse and care for the puggles in the burrow until they are old enough to venture out on their own.

Young Platypuses: After leaving the burrow, the young platypuses remain with their mother for several months, learning essential survival skills before becoming independent.

Breeding and reproduction are critical times for platypuses, and conservation efforts often focus on protecting their habitats and ensuring that human activities, such as damming rivers or altering water flow, do not negatively impact their ability to breed successfully.

You

how do they breedChatGPT

ChatGPT

The breeding process of platypuses is quite unique among mammals and involves several distinctive stages. Here's an overview of how platypuses breed:

Territorial Behavior: During the breeding season, male platypuses become more territorial, marking their territories and competing with other males for access to females. They might engage in aggressive behaviors, such as chasing or fighting, to establish dominance.

Courtship: Once a male has established a territory, he may encounter a receptive female. The courtship behavior of platypuses is not extensively documented due to their elusive nature, but it likely involves vocalizations, displays, and physical interactions between the male and female.

Nesting: After mating, the female builds a burrow in a riverbank or another suitable location. She constructs a nest chamber within the burrow, which serves as a protected environment for laying and incubating her eggs.

Egg-Laying: Unlike most mammals, which give birth to live young, female platypuses lay eggs. A female typically lays one to three leathery eggs, which she incubates by curling around them to keep them warm and moist. The incubation period lasts about 10 days.

Hatching and Nursing: After the eggs hatch, the young platypuses, called "puggles," are tiny, blind, and hairless. The mother continues to care for them in the burrow, nursing them with milk produced by mammary glands. The milk is secreted through specialized patches on the mother's abdomen since platypuses do not have nipples.

Maturation and Independence: The puggles remain in the burrow with their mother for several months, gradually growing and developing. As they mature, they become more independent and eventually leave the burrow to establish their territories and seek mates.

Life Cycle: Platypuses have a slow reproductive rate, with females typically producing one clutch of eggs per breeding season. The long-term survival of the species relies on the successful breeding and survival of individual platypuses, making conservation efforts crucial for protecting their unique reproductive process.

The breeding behavior of platypuses is a fascinating example of evolutionary adaptation to their aquatic environment and provides insights into the diversity of reproductive strategies among mammals.

The Paddling Platters: A Tale of Pride and Eggs

In a serene corner of Australia, where the eucalyptus trees swayed and the rivers glistened under the sun, there existed a special enclave known as the Platters' Paddle. Unlike other platypus gatherings, the Platters were a particularly proud group, always eager to boast about their unique abilities.

Every morning, as the sun peeked over the horizon, the Platters would gather by the riverbank, their sleek bodies glinting with dew. One morning, Patty, the eldest of the Platters, began the gathering with a smirk on her face.

"My dear paddlers," Patty began, flicking her tail with pride, "Have any of you noticed how some creatures struggle to find their identity? Not us! We, the Platters, are unique in every way."

The other platypuses nodded in agreement, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. They loved these morning tales.

Patty continued, "While others lay eggs or give birth to live young, we do both! Isn't that a marvel?"

A young platypus named Pippin piped up, "But Patty, why do we lay eggs? Isn't that more challenging than just giving birth?"

Patty chuckled, "Ah, Pippin, it's all about versatility. We lay eggs in our burrows, providing a safe and nurturing environment for our young. Once they hatch, we nurse them with milk. It's the best of both worlds!"

Another platypus, Penelope, added, "And let's not forget, while other mammals may find it hard to decide between laying eggs or giving birth, we don't have to choose. We can do both!"

The Platters cheered in unison, their pride swelling with each passing moment. They were indeed unique, a testament to nature's endless wonders.

But as the day wore on, the Platters began to realize that while their ability to lay eggs was special, it was their unity and camaraderie that truly set them apart. After all, it wasn't just about laying eggs or giving birth; it was about working together, supporting one another, and celebrating their shared heritage.

And so, as the sun set, casting a golden hue over the river, the Platters nestled close to one another, their hearts filled with gratitude and love. For in their hearts, they knew that while their abilities were extraordinary, it was their bond as a paddle that made them truly exceptional.

The end.

The Platitudes of the Platter: A Tale of Male Musings

Across the river, where the shade of the gum trees played tricks with the light and the sounds of the day were muffled by the foliage, a distinct murmur could be heard. This was the gathering of the male platypuses, known by locals as the "Platitudes."

The Platitudes, like their female counterparts, had a penchant for gathering and sharing tales. But their stories often took on a different tone, one of mischief and camaraderie, mixed with a hint of braggadocio.

Preston, a particularly boisterous male, was leading the conversation that day. With a flick of his tail and a twinkle in his eye, he began, "Now, gentlemen, have any of you noticed how the ladies in the Platters' Paddle are always so smug about their egg-laying abilities?"

A chorus of chuckles echoed in agreement.

Preston continued, "I mean, laying eggs is all well and good, but who's out there navigating the waters, hunting for food, and ensuring the safety of the paddle?"

The Platitudes nodded in unison, their chests puffing out with pride. After all, they were the unsung heroes of the river, always on the lookout, always ready to defend their territory.

Phillip, a more contemplative platypus, mused, "It's not just about the hunting and defending, Preston. It's about the balance. While the ladies take care of the eggs, we ensure that the environment is safe and secure for our offspring."

Preston grinned, "Ah, Phillip, always the philosopher! But let's be honest, while they're busy with their eggs, we're out here mastering the art of survival. We're the true adventurers of the river!"

The Platitudes cheered, their voices echoing across the water. They reveled in their roles, embracing their responsibilities with gusto.

However, amidst the laughter and boasting, there was an undercurrent of respect and admiration for the Platters. Deep down, the Platitudes knew that it was the combined efforts of both the males and females that ensured the survival and prosperity of their kind.

And as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the river, the Platitudes settled into a contented silence. For in their hearts, they knew that while they may have their differences with the Platters, they shared a common bond, a shared purpose that connected them all.

The end.

what predators do the platypus fearChatGPT

ChatGPT

The platypus, native to freshwater areas of eastern Australia, has a few natural predators and threats in its environment. Some of the primary predators and threats to the platypus include:

Introduced Predators: One of the most significant threats to the platypus comes from introduced predators, particularly the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and feral cats (Felis catus). These predators can hunt and kill platypuses, especially vulnerable young ones.

Birds of Prey: Large birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, might pose a threat to young or injured platypuses that are near the water's surface.

Aquatic Predators: Larger predatory fish, such as eels, may also prey on smaller or juvenile platypuses.

Human Activities: Apart from direct predation, human activities can also pose threats to platypuses. Habitat destruction, pollution, entanglement in fishing gear, and being hit by boats can harm or kill platypuses.

While the platypus has a venomous spur on its hind foot, which can deliver a painful sting, it's primarily used in disputes between males during the breeding season and is not a defense mechanism against predators.

describe the appearance of a platypusChatGPT

ChatGPT

Certainly! The platypus is a truly unique and fascinating creature with a mix of features from various animals. Here's a description of its appearance:

Body Shape: The platypus has a streamlined, elongated body similar to that of an otter. Its body is covered in dense, waterproof fur that varies in color from a dark brown to a lighter shade, often with a silvery sheen.

Tail: The platypus has a broad, flat tail that resembles that of a beaver. The tail serves as a rudder while swimming and is also used to store fat reserves.

Head: Perhaps one of the most distinctive features of the platypus is its head, which is flattened and resembles that of a duck. The head is relatively small compared to the body.

Bill: The most iconic feature of the platypus is its bill, which is wide, flat, and rubbery. The bill is similar to that of a duck's but is softer and more pliable. It is also equipped with electroreceptors, allowing the platypus to detect the electrical signals produced by its prey in the water.

Feet: The platypus has four webbed feet, which are equipped with claws. The front feet are particularly adept at digging and are used to create burrows in riverbanks where the platypus rests and shelters.

Venomous Spurs: Male platypuses possess venomous spurs on their hind legs. While not immediately visible, these spurs are used primarily during the breeding season for competition between males and can deliver a painful sting.

In summary, the platypus is a mosaic of features from various animals, making it one of the most unique mammals on Earth. Its appearance is a testament to millions of years of evolutionary adaptation to its aquatic environment.

You

they also have an electrical system like sharks for locating their preyChatGPT

ChatGPT

Yes, you're right! The platypus possesses a remarkable ability known as electrolocation, which is similar to the system found in sharks. This sensory system allows the platypus to detect the tiny electrical fields produced by the muscle contractions of its prey, primarily aquatic invertebrates like worms, insect larvae, and freshwater shrimp.

Here are some key points about the platypus's electrolocation system:

Electroreceptors: Located in the skin of the platypus's bill, there are specialized electroreceptors called "electroreceptor organs" or "ampullae of Lorenzini." These receptors are tiny, gel-filled pores that are sensitive to electrical stimuli.

Hunting Technique: When the platypus swims, it closes its eyes, ears, and nostrils and relies on its bill to detect the electrical signals produced by its prey. As it forages along the riverbed or riverbank, it can sense the tiny electrical fields created by the movements of its prey, allowing it to locate and capture food even in murky water or at night.

Unique Adaptation: The electrolocation ability is a unique adaptation that gives the platypus a distinct advantage in its aquatic environment. It's especially useful for a creature that hunts primarily by touch and has a flattened, duck-like bill that's not suited for rapid or agile movements.

The combination of electrolocation, tactile sensitivity in the bill, and excellent underwater maneuverability makes the platypus a highly specialized predator, perfectly adapted to its freshwater habitat.

when is their breeding seasonChatGPT

ChatGPT

The breeding season for platypuses varies depending on their location within Australia, but it generally falls between June and October. Here are some key points about the platypus breeding season:

Southern Hemisphere Timing: Since Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, the breeding season occurs during the cooler months when water temperatures are favorable for nesting and raising young.

Males' Display: During the breeding season, male platypuses become more territorial, especially in areas where multiple females might be present. Males establish dominance and compete for access to females.

Females' Nesting: Female platypuses build burrows in riverbanks or other suitable locations. They construct a nest chamber within the burrow where they lay their eggs.

Egg-Laying: One of the unique aspects of platypus reproduction is that females lay eggs rather than giving birth to live young. A female typically lays one to three eggs and incubates them by curling around them to keep them warm.

Hatching: The eggs hatch after about 10 days, but the young, called "puggles," are tiny, blind, and hairless. The mother continues to nurse and care for the puggles in the burrow until they are old enough to venture out on their own.

Young Platypuses: After leaving the burrow, the young platypuses remain with their mother for several months, learning essential survival skills before becoming independent.

Breeding and reproduction are critical times for platypuses, and conservation efforts often focus on protecting their habitats and ensuring that human activities, such as damming rivers or altering water flow, do not negatively impact their ability to breed successfully.

You

how do they breedChatGPT

ChatGPT

The breeding process of platypuses is quite unique among mammals and involves several distinctive stages. Here's an overview of how platypuses breed:

Territorial Behavior: During the breeding season, male platypuses become more territorial, marking their territories and competing with other males for access to females. They might engage in aggressive behaviors, such as chasing or fighting, to establish dominance.

Courtship: Once a male has established a territory, he may encounter a receptive female. The courtship behavior of platypuses is not extensively documented due to their elusive nature, but it likely involves vocalizations, displays, and physical interactions between the male and female.

Nesting: After mating, the female builds a burrow in a riverbank or another suitable location. She constructs a nest chamber within the burrow, which serves as a protected environment for laying and incubating her eggs.

Egg-Laying: Unlike most mammals, which give birth to live young, female platypuses lay eggs. A female typically lays one to three leathery eggs, which she incubates by curling around them to keep them warm and moist. The incubation period lasts about 10 days.

Hatching and Nursing: After the eggs hatch, the young platypuses, called "puggles," are tiny, blind, and hairless. The mother continues to care for them in the burrow, nursing them with milk produced by mammary glands. The milk is secreted through specialized patches on the mother's abdomen since platypuses do not have nipples.

Maturation and Independence: The puggles remain in the burrow with their mother for several months, gradually growing and developing. As they mature, they become more independent and eventually leave the burrow to establish their territories and seek mates.

Life Cycle: Platypuses have a slow reproductive rate, with females typically producing one clutch of eggs per breeding season. The long-term survival of the species relies on the successful breeding and survival of individual platypuses, making conservation efforts crucial for protecting their unique reproductive process.

The breeding behavior of platypuses is a fascinating example of evolutionary adaptation to their aquatic environment and provides insights into the diversity of reproductive strategies among mammals.

imagine a platypus mating vocalization or displayChatGPT

ChatGPT

The Platypus Serenade: A Fictional Mating Displayh the water. His bill, usually firm and stoic, now moved with fluidity and grace, tracing patterns in the water as he circled Penelope, his movements synchronized with his vocalizations.

The display was a blend of beauty and emotion, a testament to the depth of Percy's feelings for Penelope. Each chirp, each movement was a heartfelt expression, a celebration of their species' unique courtship rituals.

As the final notes of the Platypus Serenade faded away, Percy and Penelope shared a moment of connection, their eyes meeting in the dim underwater light. It was a moment of understanding, a recognition of the bond forming between them.

The Platypus Serenade had achieved its purpose, bringing two platypuses together in a dance of love and companionship, a testament to the power of music, movement, and emotion in the animal kingdom.

Okay!

Unfortunately due to this weird episode we've been having it's been hard for us to actually write things, but we have been slowly building up this one Warrior Cats AU and some fauna/flora for SoA.

For the SoA part, we have a species of animal called Rain Runners (stand-in name for now while we think of a better one), and they're sort of like a mix of rabbits, rays, sea slugs, salamanders, and platypuses. They're semi-aquatic mammals or amphibians (haven't decided that yet), and they primarily stay in water for majority of their lives. They live in rainforests and while its raining, thats usually when they come out of the water they're occupying and run around, hence their name

Rain Runners would probably not be good as pets, as they are easily frightened of anything larger than them and would probably bite an Aetersi's hand off if given the chance. However they're sometimes kept in zoos because they're still pretty. They're also hunted for the fins that grow on their backs and sides, but that's illegal and they're a protected species so.

We're still thinking of stuff for Rain Runners but y'know.. Weird Mental Health Stuff has been going on but hopefully we'll flesh them out more soon.

I'm so tired and want to rest so that's all I'll say for now

SD Zoo Wildlife Alliance Pt 2

Special Title: San Diego Zoo and Safari Parks Part 2 of 2 

Today’s Special issue is on :  San Diego Zoo and Safari Parks Part 2

Today’s Mistake-Bodysurfing when the waves are too strong. 

In this episode: FAQ

Destination: Part 2 of 2 San Diego Zoo and Safari Park

San Diego Zoo and Safari Parks is a conservation organization under the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and is a Step 1 or Step 2 destination.

The Wildlife Alliance is trying to create A world where all life thrives. They have two front doors. In this episode, we focus on the Safari Park, formerly known as the Wild Animal Park.

https://sandiegozoowildlifealliance.org/

https://sdzsafaripark.org/tickets

Ambassadors are all around.

Saving, protecting and preserving all around the world. 

Safari Park in Escondido, CA has been my favorite animal enclosure for decades. It’s nestled in the San Pasqual Valley, north of San Diego by 30 miles and is part of the San Diego Wildlife Alliance. It’s a bit of a drive from any large commercial airport, but even if you can get here for a few hours, you will be rewarded.

Why should you go there?

Go for a change of your routine and for exploration beyond your current experience. Gain new perspectives and learn something fresh about our world that you did not already know.

What can you expect when you arrive?

Parking fee. Yes, there is a fee at this location. If you ask about the fee, they will tell you it costs a lot to run the park and feed the animals. The only way to avoid the fee is to have someone drop you off or carpool and split that fee.

You get to the entrance and find kiosks to get tickets. If you purchase your ticket online, you save the wait. 

Walking around the park solo is easy to do. Get the app on your phone, so you will always be able to find your way around. If you prefer, get a paper map. There are ambassadors all over the park, wearing red shirts. Ask any one of them any relative question and you will be glad you did.

There is a tram that takes you to several places that are unwalkable. It’s comfortable and free. You can pay extra to skip the line. The park is broken out by continents, so you will find certain species in specific locations. 

How much time should you spend here? A full day if you can. Take plenty of breaks and be sure to see the different parts of the park if you can, because 1800 acres is a lot of trail. Half of that is conservation trains, so off limits to walk. There are plenty of options to get around and see the full experience.

It’s full of some of the rarest of species. for example, the only place outside of Australia where you will see platypuses is here. There are two here, and you can observe them in a cave-like experience, while they swim around.

The Wildlife alliance is laser focused on conservation, so they are trying to maintain high standards of sustainability as well as protecting the environment.

Kangaroos, and koalas are some of the best exhibits, so head to the Aussie side of the park, where you may find smaller crowds even on a busy day.

Me: Someday, I’d like to be a volunteer ambassador for the Safari park and join the hundreds of retirees who help out with hospitality and education. I have two friends here doing this now. They pick their available days and are regulars. I’m a current member and visit several times a year. It never gets boring.

Do: The elephants are easy to spot, and you see them pretty close up! This is one of my favorite exhibits.

Don’t: forget to layer for the changing weather conditions, for it is usually hotter or colder than you’d expect in this San Pasqual Valley.

Today’s Mistake: Bodysurfing when the waves are too strong. 

I was in the Pacific Ocean yesterday and got excited because it was such a beautiful day. However, my readiness was tempered by a huge wave that I did not anticipate, knocking me off my feet and swirling around in the surf with my boogie board pulled from me. My bathing suit was stretched out, sand all inside it and my ears felt like they got a sinus cleanout. That shook me hard. Don’t swim without the lifeguard and watch of big waves.

Today’s Travel Advice: Check out the Eastern Sierra’s for colors in the fall. 

The forests of maple stress look like lava flows. The aspens look like orange cotton candy. The snow capped peaks look like the perfect contrast to the bright colors with the black and white tundra in the distance. 

Connect to like minded women and get inspiration from them through your journeys, big and small. Discover the many talents of others by asking meaningful questions about philosophy and not just the weather.
