Platypus is Gods proof that he doesn`t exist and he didn`t create fuckall.

Its a perfect match if you know that mammals evolved from reptiles,only makes sense one or two species would retain some of their breeding pattern.

I thought they were extinct...glad to see that they aren`t. but wtf are they? mammals that lay eggs? or a cold blooded animal with fur? confusing as hell.
The babies are really cute.

P.S. Australia has some of the strangest animals.
