You may have heard that the
platypus is an egg laying mammal, but you may not know it is also venomous like the
scorpion! But only the males come equipped with poison. Their venom is located in ankle spurs on the hind feet.
A platypus also stores fat in its tail. This is a trait is shares with the
Tasmanian Devil (no, they’re not just a cartoon!) Both of these critters live in Australia—another place I’d like to visit.
