Duck Billed Platypus

I thk that ti is very telling that Martin should continue going on about this point.What occurred is that the posters on the evolution side looked at the pictures provided and noted the differences. Martin on the other hand would rather believe that the differences could not be there based on his personal interpretation of an anecdote.The simple fact is that if you have a wolf skull and a thylacine skull side-by-side it is easy to tell that the teeth are different. All it requires is a willingness to look. Martin not only lacks that willingness - he believes that nobody else should look, either.

I only quoted Dawkins observation about Oxford students of zoology having problem to tell apart skuls of marsupial and placental wolfs.

An anecdote, referring to exam conditions when only one of the two skulls is available . Mistakes are not surprising.

If people here know dental formulas of both species by heart

You were told that you don't need to know dental formulas. If you had looked at the pictures and seen the differences in the shape of the teeth you would know that you didn't need to know dental formulas. You're just proving my point. The idea of looking at the evidence just doesn't occur to you. You just go on and on insisting that your own opinions have to be right even in the face of proof that they're wrong.
