So, you're a platypus?

Check out this ad for the Honda Element on Youtube. It's pretty kickin'. I guess someone must have said "So, an SUV runs into a monotreme at a bar..." and this was the result.

Platypus of the Day:


Not sure what this little tyke's name is... I christen him Fattypus.

The image is from platypus pool, which just added some cute new pictures to their "Platypuses and People: Friends Forever" section. Also, I might add that when I criticized the accuracy of this site in the past, I was not aware of the two different types of echidna! So perhaps they were right in their "three monotreme" assertion. I am still not sure if the two are actually different species though. Will look into it!
