This bad boy can fit so many chromosones in it! *slaps platypus and is scratched by his venomous barbs*
What the fuck
#nature#platypus#animal facts#I LOVE how weird these little creatures are#they've got 52 chromosones#they're amphibious mammals that lay eggs and feed their young milk#they hunt with electrolocation#their eyes have double cones and are more similar to hagfish and lamprey eyes than most mammal eyes#they're bioflurescent under black light#they're SHOCKINGLY good at climbing#they use their tails to carry nesting materials#just absolutely superb funky little critters
