OK, you've all posted some rather odd LOOKING creatures, but the platypus is still the most bizarre.
As far as I know it's completly unclassifyable by todays standers. Mammels are worm blooded and have hair and give live birth. Platypus are warm blooded, have hair, and LAY EGGS. Birds have feathers, beaks, lay eggs and have wings. Platypus lay eggs and have beaks but no feathers. Not fish obviously.
I'm no expert but that's how I remember what I know about them. Furry, beaks, lays eggs, warm blooded. The only animal I know of that crosses between 2 different genras of animals.
