    The UV light thing wasn’t discovered (or at least published) until 2020.
    Phineas and Ferb ended in 2015.

    It is worth mentioning that when the first stuffed sample of platypus was sent to Britain, the scientists thought it is a joke.

      And some of those same scientists later organized a mass slaughter of thousands of platypuses in order to determine if the stories about them were true. Science, bitches!

      You’re very unlikely to see one in the wild, they’re nocturnal and their burrow entries are under creek banks

      In zoos they live in the nocturnal animal section, probably swimming

    I’m curious now how a mammal develops in an external egg. The process seems so weird.

    And Dan Povenmire was the first to discover the florescence. People Perry the platypus was more scientifically accurate than you thought.

    They also have spikes in their hind legs that they use to deliver an extremely painful venom that can paralyze small animals.
