As a platypus lays eggs and produces milk, it’s the only animal that can make its own custard.

And echidnas.
I'm not sure if I'm and echidna custard or platypus custard kind of person.
Also well known for foiling evil plots while wearing a fedora.

No stomach? Hadn't heard that one before
If something is too weird, some of the oddities tend to get overlooked.
The UV light thing wasn't discovered (or at least published) until 2020.
Phineas and Ferb ended in 2015.
They also don't have nipples (though do have mammary glands) and mother platypuses basically sweat milk through their skin for the pups to collect off their fur
what the fuck
The milk pools in grooves on the mother's abdomen, allowing the young to lap it up.
And they sweat milk!
What the hell?
If I remember correctly, they don't have mammalian glands and instead "sweat" thier milk for thier young.
They have glands but no nipples.
It is worth mentioning that when the first stuffed sample of platypus was sent to Britain, the scientists thought it is a joke.
Like the universe got lazy and hit the "Randomize for me" button instead LMAO
Will Wright took one look at this thing in an encyclopedia in 2001 and immediately started planning Spore.
Seeing living platypus is high on my bucket list, I'm still not convinced it's not a hoax
You can just go see one at the zoo; they're usually with the marsupials and chupacabras.
And Dan Povenmire was the first to discover the florescence. People Perry the platypus was more scientifically accurate than you thought.
When you cheat and choose all the perks in the character creator.
It's a Pokémon. And so far, the only one with at least 4 types: water, poison, flying and electric. How the fuck can you even counter it?
It's also adorable! Also, the babies are called platypups!
They also have spikes in their hind legs that they use to deliver an extremely painful venom that can paralyze small animals.
