The platypus, a native of eastern Australia, is a puzzling creature with features from birds, mammals, and reptiles. Male platypuses possess a venomous spur, primarily used during breeding season. These mammals lay eggs and the young ones are called puggles. Platypus means flat-footed in Greek. Their unique fur with two layers helps them to swim and stay warm in water.
