Ornithorhynchus anatinus - platypus |
|
Sleeping geology |
|
On the isolated shore |
|
For millions of years |
|
Experimental continent |
|
On purpose or accident? |
|
Mysterious evolving |
|
Problem solving |
|
A vaudeville? |
|
A nation including one superior creation |
|
A vertebra? |
|
Inverted...quite unheard of... |
|
Orphan in a family |
|
And a sole survivor |
|
He's a living fossil |
|
Reptillian? |
|
MammalianHe's a bird-beaked, beaver-butt |
|
Australian |
|
Amphibious? |
|
Paradox wearing plaid socks |
|
Furry beetle? |
|
A bugbear, and a palezoologist's nightmare |
|
Symmetrical physique of disbelief |
|
The platypus has the brain of a dolphinand can be seen driving a forklift in his habitat of kelp |
|
He is the larva of the flatwormand has the ability to regenerate after injury |
|
No relation to the flounder. |
|
Someone shipped him to the blokes |
|
Who said he was a hoax |
|
So they cut him to pieces, wrote a thesis |
|
A cranium of deceit, he's prone to lie and cheat; |
|
It's no wonder -- a blunder from down under |
|
Duckbill, watermole, duckmole! |
|
Barnacle |
