Where is the duck billed platypus?

[Jett]

- The Duck Billed Platypus is a semiaquatic egg-laying mammal that while both male and female platypuses are born with ankle spurs its the male's spur that deliver venom.

- The venom is not lethal to humans, but the pain is so excruciating that the victim may be incapacitated.

- The venom is composed largely of defensin-like proteins three of which are unique to the platypus.

- Duck Billed Platypus are the only mammals (apart from at least one species of dolphin) known to have a sense of electroreception... they locate their prey in part by dedetecting electric fields generated by muscular contractions!

- The platypus' electroreception is the most sensitive of any monotreme. (a monotreme is a mammal that lays eggs rather than bear live young.

- While Duck Billed Platypus may produce young by laying eggs? It feeds them with milk like any other mammal.

- The Duck Billed Platypus can determine the direction of an electric source determines the distance of prey so that when they move they emit electrical signals as well as mechanical pressure pulses.

- The platypus is a semiaquatic inhabiting small streams and rivers over an extensive range from the cold highlands of Tasmania to tropical rainforests of coastal Queensland.

C'mon Wild Card Team! Every deck needs a wildcard, and ark needs its platypus - excrutiating pain from their spurs develops into a long-lasting hyperalgesia (a heightened sensitivity to pain) that persists for days. Imagine the alpha? .. any of you players interested in this critter?

It's just platypus.
