  • The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus),[3] sometimes referred to as the duck-billed platypus,[4] is a semiaquatic, egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. The platypus is the sole living representative or monotypic taxon of its family Ornithorhynchidae and genus Ornithorhynchus, though a number of related species appear in the fossil record.

    Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. Like other monotremes, the platypus senses prey in cloudy water through electrolocation. It is one of the few species of venomous mammals, as the male platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers an extremely painful venom.


  • Just out of curiosity, what does med-low mean in terms of the numbers on an induction top? Mine goes from 1-14 in heat, but I usually need to put it to 7, as anything below that just doesn’t make it warm enough or I was too impatient to wait? So whemat number do you usually out yours on?

    I’ll need to try to pre-boil my water too!
