Hey guys. I found this important information and decided to post it ASAP. After all we have an election coming up.

Platypus Breeding Cycle

June		The size of the testes and sperm production in males captured between July and the end of October,  indicate that this is the main breeding period.  There may be some overlap between the mating and lactation season however,  as females have been caught that were producing milk in late September. It is assumed that gestation lasts about a month and incubation roughly ten days. Lactation is known to take 3 1/2 months, this means  young that emerge  from the burrow in  February would have resulted from a mating that occurred in September. Mating Season Lactation Season

AAA, if you ever drive around the suburban areas of our biggest cities, and wonder how in the world all these people can afford $300,000+ houses ... well, somebody is getting down with the events and fact of a platypus "lactation season" ... and most likely, our tax money is funding it!

Duckbill mammals scare me. It ain't right.

I do like the graphic, however, that's a platypus who's leaning up against a friendly wall and lactating like Madonna on "VH-1 Presents". That duckbill's pup looks a little like a Latino dancer too.

Sure ... no duckbill reproductive data can ever best the data of plumbing joints, subassemblies and schematics ... but any bandwidth sucking campaign is ok in my book. If your posting of a platypus sex life freezes TLB from posting that picture of he and Coulter, we've won a little scrum of humanity!

In my case, your taking my cyber-efforts from FR to Google.com and "Platypus and Salma Hayek", kept me from my intent to start a vanity thread entitled "Does This Look Infected to You?"
