Australia, known for the presence of dangerous and rare species, is one of the places with the most exotic fauna on the planet. One of the most common animals in the region is the platypus, which was called “the most unusual in the world” in the video.

The professional emphasizes that despite the fact that the animal is oviparous, it is a mammal and does not have DNA like that of birds and reptiles, as stated in the original video.
The similarities in form and habitat where the platypus spends most of its time don’t bring it closer to the genetic characteristics of other species, he explains.
