When an animal survives in the world for a long time, it can be called a living fossil. The platypus has survived for 25 million years and is one of the most primitive mammals in the world.
Because the platypus has gone through hundreds of millions of years, neither extinct nor much evolution, it has always hovered in the "transitional stage", full of mystery. This mystery has also led to the massive hunting of platypuses, and although it has been included in the list of protected animals, it is still not many.
Currently, platypuses live only in Australia. The main reason is that it has been living in Australia since its existence, has not changed its place of survival, and its physical functions are only adapted to the Australian living environment and cannot survive in other places. Therefore, it is impossible to see platypus in China.
From the outside, the platypus has a duck-like mouth, is furry, cute, and completely dangerous. But platypuses are one of the few poisonous mammals, and male platypus have spikes in their hind limbs that secrete toxic substances, and humans are stabbed to produce severe pain and even cannot move.
Sure enough, under the beautiful and cute appearance, it is generally poisonous.
That's it for today, if there are any animals you want to know, you can tell me in the comments section.
