Fenner et al. (1992) provided the first clinical case report of platypus envenomation. They report that the affected patient, who received spur wounds to the hand, presented with oedema and lasting severe pain which did not respond effectively to morphine and was only alleviated following a wrist block. Laboratory blood tests revealed an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), indicating possible coagualopathy. The pain in this case persisted for several months and substantially impaired use of the affected limb. Intense pain and oedema were similarly described in a more recent case reported by Tonkin and Negrine (1994), although the symptoms in this case subsided within several weeks.

The platypus is mother nature's way of saying, "I made this thing out of spare parts I found on the workshop floor, and it can still fucking cripple you."

In australia they dont just market all their animals as pets as in the rest of the world.
The only one I've known as a (shitty) pet is the sugar glider.

I've always wondered does their fur feel as silky as it looks?

The males have poisonous spurs. The females don't.

all water animals with fur have extremely dense fur which makes it water resistant.
That's why they are also very silky and often pricy.
