What is this? Hint: Egg-laying mammal



Here is some guessing work to be done. What is this? It's the type of mammal that lay egg. And when they first sent the specimen of this species to London, the biologist thought that it's a hoax. The biologist thought that they are making fun of them by stitching a beak of a duck to a mammal.

Yes, you guess right, it's the platypus, the Chinese call it 鸭嘴兽, the duck-beaked creature, which is self-explained. It's a native species in Australia. This is taken from the Sydney Aquarium, apparently, the flashlight is turned on accidentally and scared this animal to hell. It should be turned off.
