Once per year I visit /an/ and check if the platyanon is still posting and he sure is. This melts my heart. Godspeed, you are a hero.Do you say platypuses or platypi?
>>4955384It's for defense and for when the males battle for mating rights. That's why only the males have it and spurs are one hind legs. >>4955450According to atenburrough and Fleay it is the plural is platypuses.This is your daily reminder to want a platypus

I can't imagine what breeding lead to this things existence. Duck and beaver had a wild night many rooms ago.

Thank you mods for deleting that highly rude and inappropriate comment. It had no business being on /an/.This is your daily reminder to want a platypus
>>4954826Snuggling a puggle sounds great OP. But even if it was legal for me to own one, I wouldn't have the money or resources to care for one. There also aren't any platypus cafes near me that lets me cuddle no strings attached. ;-;

>>4964121That is a true although somewhat non relivant statement for this thread. I apologize if I somehow gave the impression that I wanted to be the opposite gender, but I don't know where or when I would have done so.>>4963178I have previously discussed that the true reason of these threads is to reminde people how awesome platypuses and precious unique fauna and their habitat are (especially platypuses) and wanting one doesn't necessarily mean having one. It could be as simple as contributing to habitat conservation, or visiting somewhere like Healsvillsanctuary or the San Diego safari park and contributing to their continued preservation for future generations however you are able. Much like I will likely never get to play hockey on the moon, or own and opperate a functioning battlemech. It doesn't mean I can't dream.This is your daily reminder to want a platypus.

Can a platypus harm a human? An anon said they have venom. How dangerous is it?

It wasn't all that long ago (~5 mya) that platypuses had teeth. They still have them as puggles too. Could the hard-bodied animal eating toothed platypus develop again?

>>4998984can't believe the third one is styling
>>4958064Just a small clarification for both you and OP: "platypus" and "platipodes" is NOT Latin. It's actually greek (meaning "flat foot/feet"), just translitted to latin alphabet and sound cause all scientific names are coded to be in Latin. That's also the same reason why "platypi" (just like "octopi") is always wrong, cause ameritards pretend to know languages and give a roman plural to greek namesThis is your daily reminder to want a platypus

Crap not in time. And on a side note always remember to police litter when in and around waterways. Especial things like cordage and rubber bands. If it gets bound around them. They have absolutely no way of getting it off of them and it will eventually kill them without human intervention. This is your daily reminder to want a platypus

>>5007833Bring a strong stick or better yet a claw rake, it will look like a walking stick so people won't think you are a pscho, and you can gather up loose fishing lines and nets as you enjoy your local billabong. It will feel futile at first, but after a couple of months of collecting rubbish you will be amazed at the improvement + people will be less likely to litter in a pristine place.
