The platypus is a semiaquatic mammal that lays eggs, and it has a duck-like bill and a beaver-like tail. It lives in eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is special because it is one of the few venomous mammals.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

Short, dense, brown fur that is waterproof1
A soft, duck-like bill1
A wide, flat, furry tail, unlike the scaly tail of a beaver1
Short legs with webbing, most noticeably on the front feet1
Small eyes and ears that sit in a groove that closes underwater1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Early European naturalists were confused by the platypus and thought it was a fake, made by sewing a duck's beak onto a beaver-like body. Its tail looks like a beaver's, but it is furry rather than scaly.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Miiba ya miguu yenye sumu

Mwiba mkali kwenye miguu ya nyuma hubeba sumu.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Only the male platypus has venom, which it injects through a spur on each hind foot. The venom is powerful enough to cause extreme pain in humans. The affected limb then develops swelling, which starts at the wound and spreads.1

Mwiba wa mguu wake ukikuchoma

Osha jeraha vizuri na utafute msaada wa kitabibu.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
Mwiba wa mguu wake ukikuchoma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

The platypus has about 40,000 electroreceptors in its bill, which detect electric signals from prey in murky water.1

Its fur is one of the most densely packed of any mammal, behind only otters. It also glows cyan and green under ultraviolet light.1

The platypus lacks a functional stomach, because it does not have the genes needed to make pepsin, a digestive enzyme.1

Adult platypuses have no teeth. They have heavily keratinised grinding pads instead, and young platypuses lose their teeth around the time they leave their burrow.1

Its average body temperature is about 32 °C, lower than the 37 °C typical of placental mammals.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: The platypus is a hoax, made by sewing several animals together.

Ukweli: The platypus is a real species. When the first scientists examined a preserved body in 1799, they doubted it, and George Shaw even used scissors to check for stitches.1
