+ they are the only mammal to lay eggs
Wrong
There are 4 species of mammals that lay eggs.

Hello!
The platypus is one of my favorite animals (beside the duck )!
Here are some facts!:
- The platypus is a semi-aquatic mammal with an unusual appearance. It is duckbilled, has webbed feet, a tail that resembles a beaver's, and otter-like fur. It's found only in Australia, in rivers and streams.
- Platypuses are one of the two mammals that lay eggs. They lay about 2 - 4 eggs.
- The average length of a platypus is about 50 cm (for a male), and weigh about 1 to 2.4 kg.
- They can live more than 12 yrs, and their predators include water rats, hawks, and eagles, as well as owls.
- The platypus is a great swimmer and can dive on average for around 30 sec.
Most fun facts :
- The foot of a male platypus actually contains venom!
- Platypuses close their eyes + ears when under water!
- The platypus eats about 20% of its weight per day!
- They are usually nocturnal!
And.... My favorite fact :
- The platypus sleeps (on average) 14 hours a day!!
This is okay but some facts are wrong😪
