One of the most weird and funny animals in the world, entered the ranks platypus animals that can threaten human lives. At first glance, the animals are classified as mammals looks like a combination of ducks, otters, and crocodiles. But behind it all harmful toxins stored in the body platypus.

Animals are so inhabitants of the Australian continent can injure and spread poison on the enemy with its sharp claws. For now, only the male platypus is known to have venom in its claws. infection venom is reportedly causing excruciating pain in humans. Worse, the victims of the attack of a platypus can make people powerless in many months.

Remember you are on vertebrates, or animals vertebrate? Group of animals is divided into five classes, starting Pisces, Amphibians, Reptiles, Aves, and Mammals. The division sequence actually reflect the degree of evolution, starting Pisces the most primitive and the most modern mammals. Each class has certain characteristics that show evolutionary development.

One example is the Platypus animal mammal groups (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), known as 'animal duck-billed'. Australia native mammals is unique because ovipar reproduce (spawn) but she breastfeed her child. Spawn is one of the characteristics Aves (birds), breast-feeding is one of the characteristics of mammals. That's why the animal is considered Platypus transition from Aves to mammals.

When egg-laying platypus are similar to the behavior of birds. He issued eggs on a place in the nest, and then will be incubated. At the time when the eggs hatch, the Platypus junior will come out of the shell, then the mother will breastfeed the child immediately.

Indeed once Platypus also present in Argentina and the South American region. This is proven by the discovery of fossils of them in the region. Unfortunately, Platypus extinction in some places. Now they are only found in Australia, especially Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. At that location even their population diminished. The Australian Government is now heavily prized animal conservation programs.

Platypus woolly black or brown, and remain dry even been submerged in water. They are a reliable diver is able to stay under water up to 14 minutes in length because it can dramatically decreased the heart rate. Under ordinary platypus this water for prey such as small fish, fish eggs, frogs, and so on, and usually done at night.

These animals have elektroreseptor inside its beak. This senses helps detect movement or electrical fields generated other aquatic animals. Part flexible like rubber also contains various other sensors capable of detecting existence prey.

Platypus is the swimmer reliably. The fourth leg is very agile when in the water. On land, he runs like a lizard or reptile. If there is a threat of predators, they will soon get into the water. Tail like a fish to help them swim faster. One other oddity is the male platypus can deliver venom of a number of parts in his leg. So dangerous, too.
