Strange Animal Facts of the Day
The duck-billed platypus has always intruiged me. Why is it so very different from other animals? Everyone knows it swims, has a duck bill, lays eggs, and is a mammal. But who knew their young were called puggles? And who knew the following?
Even more curious are the experiements in Japan where female mice were able to produce young without any male or sperm involvement. The could be useful for saving species. But it better not make males redundant. :p
