Neither fish nor fowl: Platypus genome decoded
Now scientists know why. According to a study released Wednesday, the egg-laying critter is a genetic potpourri -- part bird, part reptile and part lactating mammal.
Uh...
I coulda told ya that!
Native to eastern Australia and Tasmania, the semi-aquatic platypus is thought to have split off from a common ancestor shared with humans approximately 170 million years ago.

I remember the first time I saw one in relationship to a person's size - I was so shocked they're so small!
I was expecting them to be something like the American beaver in size.
they're nowhere close.
