Nobletripe, is a user of the English wikipedia. I have been a user since 4 March, 2011. As this is my user page, I will not be too kind to those who vandalise it, nor will I be too happy if anyone edits my user page without first mentioning it on my talk page. If you wish to change something, please mention it here first. We'll try and come to some sort of an agreement,okay? I hover around a bit, and if I have any information on a topic to add, I will add it. If I find a topic that has no article, and I can find enough information about the said topic, I will create it.
The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), sometimes referred to as the duck-billed platypus, is a semiaquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is the sole living representative of the family Ornithorhynchidae and, together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotreme – mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. Like other monotremes, the platypus senses prey in cloudy water through electrolocation. The male platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers an extremely painful venom, making it one of the few species of venomous mammals. This platypus was photographed swimming in a creek near Scottsdale in Tasmania.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
