Fun Fact of the Day 5/20


A daily ritual, perhaps? Well, it's easy enough to share facts, I've been doing it in everyone's yearbook anyway. Now, how about today?

Today's fun fact: One of the only venomous mammals in the world, the Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) has tiny spurs on it's back feet, which allow it to effectively "kick" venom into an attacker for self-defense

  1. The platypus is my favorite animal, I kid you not. I did a presentation about it in the 4th grade and have loved it since.
