Is it a reptile, a bird...or a mammal?

One interesting fact which I read from a magazine, an animal with genes from birds, reptiles as well as mammals!

It is the ornithorhynchus anatinus, found in Australia. It has a beak, swims underwater and lays egg...yet it has fur and suckles its young! In addition, they have 10! sex genes instead of just 2 like us - Male and Female. Something much fascinating about this amazing animal is that all of these species are born without an immune system, but it uses specific genes to produce molecules that act as antibodies.

Does this animal sounds familiar to you?

Are you shocked by how wonderful, amazing and 历害 this creature is?

Then, read more about it...

The "Platypus."
