The Deadly Platypus

It wasn't too long ago that people just thought the platypus was a harmless creature. This video shows you just how dangerous the venomous platypus can be. These amazing creatures only live in Eastern Australia and Tasmania...



Here is a bit more footage of the platypus, not quite the same when it is behind glass...

The beginning of the video made me laugh because it seemed ridiculously over dramatic.

"It goes from cute to killer" *dramatic pause* "In an instant" *video clip of two platupi seemingly playing around*

"The platupus is about the size of a beaver." *another dramatic pause* "But all comparisons end there"

But then the end surprised me. Who would've thought they were venomous! I'll make sure never to pick up a platypus in the future...
