Re: The platypus is not a bird
But it's not certain whether the platypus is a bird or a mammal or a reptile, because it has features of all
No its a mammal.
1. War blooded
2. Fur
3. Tribosphenic molars
4. Ear bones incorporated into the skull
5. Lactation

It's a weird mammal no doubt, but it is a mammal.
