They even run stupid.

I want one as a pet.

[–]Avien 21 points22 points ago

What has venom and moves like a snake,

Has the bill and feet of a duck,

The tail of a beaver,

The skin of a mole,

and feeds by electrolocation like a shark?

[–]mattc286 9 points10 points ago

Also, is a mammal, but doesn't have nipples. It releases milk from sweat glands that drip down its hair. Oh, and it lays eggs.

[–]MrEpicZach 5 points6 points ago

He's a semi-aquatic, egg laying mammal of action!

[–]eightwebs 1 point2 points ago

[–]druidrawr 6 points7 points ago

[–]Fionwe 2 points3 points ago

[–]doesntgetreddit 1 point2 points ago

Somebody "Haters gonna hate" this!

(please)

[–]Simi566 1 point2 points ago

It's a reptile bird mammal, its a mammal, it lays eggs, and lives in and out of water. It's an adorable freak of nature! :)

[–]CakeBagel 1 point2 points ago

Ah, the only poisonous mammal that also lays eggs. Way cooler than that pussy ass honey badger.

[–]Kellianne 1 point2 points ago

I think they kind of look like backwards beavers.

[–]Disco_Drew 1 point2 points ago

I just left the thread about the cat waiting for his brother. This makes me feel better.

[–]walshy16 1 point2 points ago

Damn nature, you ugly!

[–]cogentc 1 point2 points ago

A platypus running towards a threatening cameraman with venom injecting spur on its hind foot. Don't worry, its only one of the most painful non lethal types of venom in the world... so precious

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus)

[–]geraudjonez 1 point2 points ago

GTFO OF THERE, NOW!

[–]DomoLuvsYa 1 point2 points ago

With each step I expect the platypus to say something like bitch.what.the.fuck.are.you.doing

[–]hey_suburbia 0 points1 point ago

They have feet like a duck, but are furry. It's all in my Wildlife Treasury!

[–]OMGBLACKPOWER 0 points1 point ago

The very definition of derp.

[–]Pinoth 0 points1 point ago

I awwed and chuckled at the same time. Awwhaaha

[–]MountainLover 0 points1 point ago

It looks like a mini alligator.

Related muppet song about platypus SFW

[–]SmellyGoateeGuy 0 points1 point ago

I constantly expected it to go: "p-p-p-p-p-p-posinous platypus". That would've freaked him out.

[–]twoowuv 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of how my cat runs.

[–]Psychodelli 0 points1 point ago

Did you know the males have poisonous glands on their back feet.

[–]popsicleptik 0 points1 point ago

If a dubstep wub were an animal...

[–]Cptnwalrus 0 points1 point ago

Aren't those things hella poisonous?

[–]pantsoffire 0 points1 point ago

Only the males. They're nocturnal, and they usaully prefer water or under ground.

[–]GiveJesusPants 0 points1 point ago*

[–]pantsoffire 0 points1 point ago

So... they finally figured that out eh? Well, I'll just wear my motorcycle boots everywhere. That'll do.

[–]Andpointedsticks 0 points1 point ago

That run reminds me of how a crocodile runs, the same wiggle body motion.

[–]pinoypain 0 points1 point ago

Perry the Platypus, what are you doing here?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Urge to kill hug. . . rising. . .

[–]Chocobo812 0 points1 point ago

My first thought upon seeing this gif was that it would be quite depressing if I went through my life without ever seeing a platypus in the wild.

[–]Chocobo812 0 points1 point ago

"However, it has been shown that platypus venom can kill dogs when injected intravenously."

For science!
