[post_page_title]Platypus[/post_page_title]
To most people, the platypus is an adorable water-dwelling creature that swims along with its scoop duck-bill and its fluffy fur. However, this animal is actually one of the most dangerous animals on the planet and is one of just a few venomous mammals in the animal kingdom. The platypus secretes its venom through sharp spurs on their feet, which can cause excruciating pain to humans. Luckily, platypus normally use this venom to fight off competitors during the mating season, rather than using it as a defense mechanism against humans.
