Platypus
Makamandag na tahidThe 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

Paano ito makikilala
- 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
Madalas mapagkamalang: 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
Lakas ng kamandag
May matulis na tahid sa mga paa nito sa likod na may dalang kamandag.
Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?
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

Kung matusok ka ng tahid nito
- Hugasang mabuti ang sugat at kumuha ng tulong medikal.
Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas
Mag-ingat
- Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
- Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
- Kung matusok ka ng tahid nito: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.
Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact
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
Myth buster
Mito: The platypus is a hoax, made by sewing several animals together.
Totoo: 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
