    The UV light thing wasn’t discovered (or at least published) until 2020.
    Phineas and Ferb ended in 2015.

    It is worth mentioning that when the first stuffed sample of platypus was sent to Britain, the scientists thought it is a joke.

      And some of those same scientists later organized a mass slaughter of thousands of platypuses in order to determine if the stories about them were true. Science, bitches!

      You can just go see one at the zoo; they’re usually with the marsupials and chupacabras.

      Just the males, iirc.

      They have venomous spurs in their hind feet used in chasing off other males.
