despite their duck-like bills and webbed feet, the duck-billed platypus (often known simply as the platypus) is not a bird, but a very unique mammal. this species, endemic to eastern australia, has a number of unique adaptations. they are one of only five species of mammal who lay eggs rather than give live birth. they forage for around 10-12 hours daily, primarily for small aquatic invertebrates like crayfish; they use electroreception to locate their prey. the species is also biofluorescent, turning bluish-green under UV light. male platypuses are also venomous; they have a spur on the back of their hind flippers that produces a venom that can be harmful to humans. females have a small spur, but are not venomous. these creatures are largely antisocial and as such produce few vocalizations, as they rarely communicate among their own species.

Hippogriff, but it's half duck, half beaver.

Platypus

Make some noise for Fossil Friday! Corythosaurus was a duck-billed dinosaur that lived in what is now North America. Its name is a nod to the helmets worn by Corinthians in ancient Greece: This species’ strange skull is capped by a crescent-shaped helmet that contains extended tubes, which form elaborate nasal passages. See it up close in the Museum’s Hall of Ornithischian Dinosaurs.
