  1. ornithorhynchus anatinus

    Ornithorhynchus Anatinus, commonly known as the platypus, is a unique semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is one of the few mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young, making it a monotreme. It's noticeable for its unusual appearance with a bill that's shaped like a duck's, a beaver-like tail, webbed feet, and body of an otter's. It is also known for its venomous spur found on the male's hind-feet.
