twotone: A toy figure in a penguin costume is dismayed. It stands next to a mug with a penguin illustration and a broken handle. (Default)

My favorite thing about platypi (other than how they look, and the awesomeness of monotremes, and that whole poison spike thing) is that their babies are called puggles. PUGGLES!

EDIT: Basically, pretty much everything about the platypus indicates that it was created in the 80s as competition for the Wuzzles plush toys and cartoons.
