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

            It’s heavily regulated now as someone sold one of the male drumsticks that still had the venomous spur attached at a Saturday farmers market.

            Fortunately most of the venom was deactivated by frying it but they still had to be hospitalised for a week.

              I wonder how they’d be for pets.

              I realize I shouldn’t.

              but. I kinda want one. They’re cute.

              (again, I realize I shouldn’t!)

                  Hell, we’ll even try to domesticate things that are anything but cute, like crocodiles, fish and spiders
