I would have thought the females should have more defenses against predation since they have to live longer than the male to gestate the next generation.

The males use them in mating sparring. Like how deer use their antlers. Females are hatched with vestigial ones, but they drop off pretty young.

They are very skittish and shy. The last guy I know actually named the one he befriended shy. It's part of their self defense evolution. Wildly off topic, but while a pretty desplay I dislike the San Diego enclosure. It seems cold inside. Something like 70% of captive platypuses die to pneumonia. In th wild they get to dry off borrowing. But in enclosures they can't. They have this "squeegee thing", but no

I really wish these could be pets. I really do want one. They’re cute and interesting and they look fun to cuddle and the poison spurs thing aren’t even enough to turn me away from my desire to gently pet and then hand feed these things. I’ll never get the chance though because I’m a burger, they’re threatened or some shit, and we need a multi generational effort to domesticate them.
