Two male platypuses have been caught on camera fighting for territory in Tasmania, Australia. Esme Atkinson, who filmed the video, said the animals were “ferocious” and showed no signs of stopping after 20 minutes. One expert told the BBC the male platypuses, which have venomous spurs,

Free preview of what the Musk vs. Zuck fight will look like.
lol...that was my thought, too.
That picture looks like an eggplant and something else...
Can’t tell what it is.
Oh,, I DO see a banana on the right hand side..
I saw a video of a guy at a hospital who had been “stung” by one of these. He was SCREAMING in pain, and they were reluctant to give him more morphine lest he stop breathing. Evidently you don’t mess with these guys.
Honestly, I'd rather see the platypodes fight.
Platypi?
In Canada they would be platypouses.
Riding my bicycle at night in the past week I saw the largest rabbit I ever saw (I was alarmed), a small fox (which I saw in two different locations an hour apart), two raccoons (that were together), a large white cat and just a couple of hours ago a ferret (which moved amazing through the bushes). All here in Berlin.
Platypuntine
Curse you, Perry the Platypus!

Platypudinous!
Where did you get the LSD?
They were beating the crap out of each other.
It’s two eggplants fighting.

Your rabbit story reminded me of the behaviour of jack rabbits in rural southeast Nebraska years ago. The rabbits would be sitting on the road or alongside at night. When a car came along they would jump out and run ahead at the limit of the light beam. Young fellow drivers would often speed up with bad results for the rabbit.
I lived in Lincoln attending the University of Nebraska. On occasion, I would bicycle to the farm for the weekend. It was about four hours and sometimes dark for the last part. My light was a generator operated incandescent head lamp. A jack decided to play his game with me. I could tell you that I ran him down with the bicycle, but that would’t be true.
I’d pay top bill to see them cage fight
