I sat in a riverbed, and a whole family of 4 platypus swam up to me. Looked me up and down. Then continued on their way. Magic. I will never forget that day.

You know it shouldn't surprise me after the beak, the eggs, the milk sweat, the venomous spurs, the electroreception abilities, the lack of a stomach, and the blue glow under ultraviolet light; but the fact that the platypus can hold stuff with their tails like that is a surprise. What an animal

@BaruchJW 11 месяцев назад

This odd-looking creature has a bill and webbed feet like a duck, a body and fur like an otter, and a tail like a beaver. It lays eggs like a chicken, burrows like a wombat, and suckles its young like a mother bear. Little wonder that the first scientist to examine one suspected that it was a hoax!

@broadbandislife 11 месяцев назад

AKCHUYALLY their eggs are leathery like those of lizards, not hard-shelled like those of birds. But yeah when European naturalists first got their hands on a taxidermied one in 1799 they considered it a hoax - not unreasonably, as Frankensteining up chimeric taxidermies out of several different critters had a long and storied pedigree. The _Wolpertinger_ out of German folklore is a well-known and prolific example and the platypus is almost as bizarre.

@ferretyluv 4 месяца назад

It’s even weirder than that. They don’t suckle. They sweat milk and the pups just lap it up.

@sonoftheway3528 Месяц назад

You're trying too hard to make it "like" a great variety of animals. It has a bill like a duck and a body like a beaver. It's fur can also just be compared to a beaver. It's eggs are not chicken like, many animals lay eggs. Many animals also burrow, not exactly unique. All mammals suckle their young, it's not unique to platypodes. The way they do it is unique to monotremes though.

@FangsFirst 11 месяцев назад

@@RealFarknMcCoythere's actually no official term at all for young platypuses, and both "platypup" and "puggle" are used. For whatever reason (presumably because people think the word is cute, which is understandable), the idea that puggle is somehow "correct" is commonly stated. To the extent that it's widely used, it's possible that it's slowly becoming true (since this is a living language and all!) But of course you'll note he doesn't use the term in this video, for example and says "young platypus", which is around as official as it gets.

@medea27 8 месяцев назад

I suspect this was filmed in Tasmania, where the platypus are more diurnal than on the mainland... as they spend more time out & about in daylight they don't tend to spook as easily. But with any wild animal, a little know-how and _a lot_ of patience can reap rewards... and I guarantee that he spent many, _many_ wet & chilly hours patiently waiting to get those few minutes of footage!

@Irrazzo 11 месяцев назад

The fact remains that in its 120 million year history, the Platypus is now perhaps more threatened than ever. The land clearing due to human settlement growth has spurned local extinction in some areas in Australia. If the species is put under more protection, though, future Australians will certainly manage to save their weird little friend from disappearing forever.

@hobartrivuletplatypus 11 месяцев назад

The platypus is indeed under greater threat than ever. Since European settlement of Australia their habitat has reduced massively. Sadly I don't think there is any certainty of survival for the platypus or any other living creature. There is change happening but is it fast enough? I'm not sure. In terms of the destruction of the natura world, our (european) legacy particularly in Australia is abhorrent
