What do you say if I tell you there is an
animal that is a mammal but reproduces by eggs? Well this animal exists and his
name is “Platypus”. The platypus is a little animal that have the body and the
tail of a small beaver, the legs of a swan, and the mouth of a duck. He lives
like an amphibian some hours a day, and they also lives as a terrestrial animal
in others hours a day. 


This little one is been a complete mystery
for the development biologists around the world for years, because he break the
paradigm in certain way, as well as and his mechanism of adaptation are the
focus for understanding thing like the life in and outside the sea. This
beautiful dichotomy awake in researchers around the globe many passion, because
they not only can study his phenotypical expression, like the way he moves or
eat, but also they can study the behavior of his cells and analyze how they
responds to the environmental changes that Platypus do.


The platypus also has a very friendly way
to relate with his pears, it seems the collaboration and the mutual benefits
are things that they are very used to. Whoever in public, they are very shy.
That`s why when we seem him in captivity, probably he will be hidden. Another
mystery for this king of surprises.
