Duck bill.
Beaver tail. Otter webbed feet and legs. Lays eggs. Has fur. Males have a poisonous spur on their leg. Females make milk but lack teets. What kind of freak of nature are these things??

The last one is probably the most interesting, because it shows how among mammals it's the platypus (and echnids), and everything else. They branched off REALLY early. http://www.theguardian.com/science/2008/may/08/genetics.wildlife The creature, considered one of the strangest mammals in the world, has become the latest to have its genetic code sequenced, revealing it to be a bizarre mix of mammal, bird and reptile, with very complex sexuality. While humans have two sex chromosomes, the X and Y, the platypus has 10, with five of each kind. |

When the platypus was described to science at first they thought it was a hoax. Rather like a Fiji Mermaid which was produced by a taxidermist with a Monkey and a Fish.
