Platypus Venom
Platypus Venom - biology -
The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is one of the only known venomous mammal. While a few other species (i.e. shrews, solenodons, and certain moles) produce toxic saliva, male platypodes deliver venom by means of sharpened spurs on each hind leg. This venom is not fatal to a healthy adult human, but it causes excruciating pain that may last for multiple weeks.
