A beaver's tail, a duck's bill, an otter's feet, and the ability to lay eggs. When scientists first discovered the platypus, they thought it was a fake sewn together by taxidermists. But is this animal actually an evolutionary "mistake"?

Join me as we dive into the strange biology of the monotreme. While the platypus looks like a hodgepodge of contradictions, its bizarre features are actually highly specialized adaptations that have allowed it to survive for millions of years. We are looking at the thin line between evolutionary genius and biological absurdity.
