I like this one better.

[–]bastion72 6 points7 points ago

WOOSH...You missed the whole Phineas and Ferb thing.

[–]c0okieninja 3 points4 points ago

It was still funny though :(

[–]bastion72 2 points3 points ago

No doubt. I'll use that song to wake up my wife tomorrow.

[–]Kateraide 6 points7 points ago

I love you for this, lol.

[–]friday6700 14 points15 points ago

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

[–]LULBASAUR 5 points6 points ago

Do-doobie doo waaa

He's a furry little flatfoot who'll never flinch from a fray-eeyay-eeyayy

[–]AwesomElf43 3 points4 points ago

He's got more then just mad skills! He's got a beaver tail and a bill.

[–]LULBASAUR 5 points6 points ago

And the women swoon whenever they hear him say...

Grrrrrrrrrr

[–]MetasequoiaLeaf 4 points5 points ago

He's Perry! Perry the Platypus! (You can call him "Agent P.")

[–]LULBASAUR 0 points1 point ago

That's a wrap guys, nice work! We brought reddit its obligatory song lyric comment thread.

To kill you. No, seriously. These things are aggressive and chock full of enough poison to kill a small dog/child.

[–]ClandestineGhost 3 points4 points ago

Thank god for the / between dog and child because I read it as dogchild and then suddenly, I was transformed into the land of Gary Larson's twisted realm.

[–]friday6700 1 point2 points ago

Dont knock gary, he rocks.

[–]ClandestineGhost 2 points3 points ago

I agree; the fact that I was magically transported there is a testament to his ability to captivate his audience :)

[–]brningpyre 21 points22 points ago

How did these things survive natural selection?

[–]truncatedChronologis 30 points31 points ago

By being both venomous and sensitive to electromagnetism.

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

Platypi are bad motherfuckers.

[–]pseudocaveman 11 points12 points ago

They are the Keytar of the animal kingdom.

[–]Myschyf 1 point2 points ago

Shut yo mouth.

[–]truncatedChronologis 0 points1 point ago

But I'm just talkin bout platypus!

[–]Jayson182 7 points8 points ago

Proof that animals possess pity.

[–]csonnich 2 points3 points ago

TIL platypuses run like crocodile bait.

Edit: "Platypuses have few predators in the wild, because they mainly hunt underwater and live in hidden shelters..."

Well, there ya go.

[–]triplea20x 0 points1 point ago

The Platypus: Most Logical explanation for creationism. They look like God got high one day and started taking random animal parts and stuck them together thinking they would be awesome and when he came down, decided they were funny enough to let slide.

[–]checkmateinnutshell -1 points0 points ago

Checkmate, atheists!

[–]Wolvenstorm 13 points14 points ago

Here's the video that this gif is from. X-post from /r/platypus.... no i'm not kidding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVneqhu9oZk

[–]DrDWayneLove 10 points11 points ago

/r/platypus is...a thing?

[–]truncatedChronologis 10 points11 points ago

The best thing.

"Venomous Mammal" Only in Australia...

[–]anthony2301 0 points1 point ago

Thank you so much for this I search everywhere for this subreddit. A place to spread and share the idea of the glorious platypus amongst like minded people. Now I can finally rest assured that the most powerful animal on the face of the earth (and most like neighbouring solar systems) has a place on this site. May the platipi be with you.

[–]nikumable 10 points11 points ago

this had to be done

[–]metabeing 2 points3 points ago

For the benefit of those people that don't know the song, it may be better to start at 20 second mark so we get the point faster.

[–]SJPadbury 24 points25 points ago

Oh, there you are, Perry!

Good guy OP. Promised a gif of a platypus running, and we got a gif of a platypus running.

[–]yakov97 6 points7 points ago

Why the fuck was this so funny

[–]SweetPapa2Bad 4 points5 points ago

Looks at title of post

You know what? That is EXACTLY what that is! notbad.jpg

[–]Clayburn 6 points7 points ago

Well, I don't know what I was expecting.

[–]AlecZander 3 points4 points ago

This?

[–]Wiskie 3 points4 points ago

Watch out for his poisonous claw!

[–]trilldax 2 points3 points ago

I want to upvote this 100 times. OMG.

[–]IgnasMikenas 2 points3 points ago

best thing I've seen in a long time

[–]tattool 2 points3 points ago

It looks like a beaver duck!

[–]timothygruich 2 points3 points ago

If this had a soundtrack what would it be?

[–]Killer_of_Pillows 2 points3 points ago

I do believe this would be the most appropriate themesong

[–]PeteTNT 2 points3 points ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeoTCvjYTXE

If? It has been decided long time ago.

[–]timothygruich 2 points3 points ago

Wow... I can't believe I randomly chose to ask that question and you were ready with a factual response.

Hey, where's Perry?

[–]makis192 2 points3 points ago

Looks like a brown version o Psyduck...

[–]tanerdamaner 2 points3 points ago

Most terrifying gif of nature in existence.

[–]TP4ALEX 2 points3 points ago

Perry the Platypus!

[–]cumulopimpus 2 points3 points ago

everyday i'm shuffling

[–]renaman 2 points3 points ago

I'm from Australia and I still have never this majestic creature in real life before. I may have seen it in a zoo when I was like 6 but that doesn't count.

[–]DrDWayneLove 3 points4 points ago

I saw them once when I was about 11. My family was on holiday to Queensland and my dad woke us up at like 5 am to go looking for them in some river where they were really commmon. We walked around for an hour or so then saw some ripples in the river. Probably platypus.

[–]Jayson182 2 points3 points ago

I got exactly what I was expecting.

[–]airjordan2120 2 points3 points ago

Perry is clearly a lot cooler

[–]Maxplatypus 2 points3 points ago

I approve

[–]elitetoast 2 points3 points ago

wat.

[–]Salo42 2 points3 points ago

where da fu..

[–]VonSandwich 4 points5 points ago

This is one of the most pathetic things I have ever seen.

I feel like the platypus is that kid you knew in school that everyone made fun of and had no friends. You feel bad for laughing at them, but they act so bizarre that you just can't help it.

[–]bacchianrevelry 3 points4 points ago

And then that kid stabs someone with a venomous spur and everyone realizes he's a badass

[–]thehazardsofchad 1 point2 points ago

The solo from Goliath by TMV started when I clicked on this. Ended up watching this for about two minutes.

[–]BruceRogers 1 point2 points ago

The title was not a lie.

[–]mynameismyown 1 point2 points ago

The longer you watch it, the funnier it becomes.

[–]baifan_ren 1 point2 points ago

Those things are equipped with venom.

[–]DrDWayneLove 1 point2 points ago

Only the males

[–]OfTheShire 1 point2 points ago

Well I'm not sure what I was expecting.

For some reason the batman theme started playing in my head

In today's times you can't upload something that's platypus related without someone always fucking saying Perry.

[–]symbiotics 1 point2 points ago

dat swagger

[–]CaptainYoshi[!] 1 point2 points ago

I'm scared.

[–]BLO0DBATHnBEOND 1 point2 points ago

This should replace cats on yhe internet

That's one derpy looking fool.

[–]JTyler82 1 point2 points ago

You mean platypus AREN'T blue? Disney lied to me

[–]brand0bot 1 point2 points ago

There used to be giant platypi back in ancient times. They also had teeth at one point, now they just have grinding plates. Imagine a big one of these just scurrying around like nobodies business.. Oh prototheria...how weird you are.

[–]bonicr 1 point2 points ago

Dat sleek aerodynamic design.

[–]djloreddit 1 point2 points ago

Things to do before I die:

[] Have Grandkids

[] Skydive

[X] See a platypus run

[] Throw something in volcano

[] Roman candle duel with Obama

[–]FrogDie 1 point2 points ago

Such a majestic creature...

This has been my favorite GIF since the first day I saw it

[–]Karma_Or_Bust 1 point2 points ago

They even run stupid. I want one as a pet.

[–]JFoggers 1 point2 points ago

This is what the internet was made for

[–]futile_devices 1 point2 points ago

everyone shut up and watch this: platypus on the prowl

[–]josephmo 1 point2 points ago

That resembles my fat shit basset hound's pathetic attempts at running far too accurately.

[–]jibsroach 1 point2 points ago

wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle YEAH!

[–]MarcMcLulz 1 point2 points ago

most accurate title I have ever read

[–]DeviousBurger 1 point2 points ago

I'm not sure what I expected from this gif.

[–]SpeakerftDead 2 points3 points ago

Well,

[–]PRPrivateRyan 0 points1 point ago

FUCKIN SPOILERS

[–]fromtheoven 0 points1 point ago

This is pretty interesting, because the way it moves is reminiscent of a lizard or reptile. Mammals mostly all move their spine in an up and down fashion when running, not side to side. I guess it's another hold over like laying eggs.

[–]NghtElfMhwk 0 points1 point ago

Looks like me trying to get into McDonald's before breakfast is over.

[–]dogmash 0 points1 point ago

I like when the title tells you exactly what it is, and you are still happy to watch.

[–]Lazer310 0 points1 point ago

I seem to remember this exact video from a commercial from my youth. Anyone else?

[–]Gabygz 1 point2 points ago

The Wildlife Treasury!!!! Lol, I wanted it so bad!

The wildlife treasury

[–]anthony2301 0 points1 point ago

What a beautiful and perfect animal (planimal is more accurate as they are higher than other beings) watch as it waddles with such grace , almost gliding as it shuffles along. This really is the pinical of evolution.

[–]majdman 0 points1 point ago

He is no where near what i though a platypus would look like after watching phineas and ferb

[–]ExOAte 0 points1 point ago

He's got his swag on

[–]warriorneedsfood 0 points1 point ago

When I see that, all I hear is:

'fuck you', 'fuck you', 'fuck you'...

[–]nicoleluv358 0 points1 point ago

for some reason this just cracks me up.
