It is worth mentioning that when the first stuffed sample of platypus was sent to Britain, the scientists thought it is a joke.

And some of those same scientists later organized a mass slaughter of thousands of platypuses in order to determine if the stories about them were true. Science, bitches!

it all started from laughter to slaughter.

And Dan Povenmire was the first to discover the florescence. People Perry the platypus was more scientifically accurate than you thought.

Seeing living platypus is high on my bucket list, I'm still not convinced it's not a hoax

You're very unlikely to see one in the wild, they're nocturnal and their burrow entries are under creek banks

In zoos they live in the nocturnal animal section, probably swimming

You can just go see one at the zoo; they're usually with the marsupials and chupacabras.

I thought you put capybara and just kinda thought you were also implying they were a pseudo SCP.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure they're not with the pumas?

What did I tell you about making up animals?
