The only poisonous mammal in the world

The only poisonous mammal in the world is the platypus. The platypus has a soft beak, the same as a duck's, and the tail looks like the tail of a beaver. His body is covered with thick fur. Platypus lays and hatches eggs like birds, but feeds its cubs with milk. The native land of the platypus is Eastern Australia and the island of Tasmania. The Platypus is the only poisonous mammal in the world. Amazing? Of course, since it looks quite harmless and even ridiculous. It turns out that this strange animal has special glands that secrete poison, and they are located near the hips. On the tubes, the poison comes from the glands to a special appendix on the hind legs. During the mating season male platypuses use it in the fight against rivals. The poison of the platypus can kill an animal of small size. The only poisonous mammal in the world rarely uses it against humans.

This spate is the only poisonous mammal in the world whose poison penetrates through the teeth-fangs. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to meet this animal, since the cleft is the leader in the lists of endangered species.
