Too bad...... the venom is important but the real lesson is that the Duck Billed Platypus is the only mammal that lays eggs. And although my memories are maybe 64 years old, the Platypus is also marsupial. The habitat is small streams

I’m well aware of the obvious features of a platypus, but just never heard a word about venom.
