    I knew about the weird dick. I did not know that platypi had company.

    Yeah they’re both monotremes! The eggs are also very leathery, more similar to reptile eggs

    They’re so cool. Echidnas and platypuses are what remain of when reptiles were evolving into mammals. They also glow under UV light for some reason.

    Just need to correct something here. Mammals were never reptiles. We are synapsids and reptiles are sauropsids. These two clades evolved side by side, not one from the other. While early synapsids had some superficial traits that appear similar to reptiles, reptiles are not synapsids and never evolved into mammals.

    The UV light is definitely true though curiously there are several other mammals, otherwise unassociated with monotremes that also glow in the dark, including a few marsupials in Australia, coincidentally.

    It's either flying squirrels or sugar gliders whose bones glow under UV for some reason.

    Didn’t even notice the ballsack. I was just stuck on the fact that in some other reality they have mass produced echidna condoms.

    Thanks a lot.

    Well, I could have gone my whole life not reading that sentence. Now what do I do?

    Google it. They only use two at a time, and it's because the female Achidna has two uteri (plural uterus). They alternate which pair they use every mating session. This may be to increase rate of repete copulation.

    Pretty hot. Am I right?

    Achidnas probably think so, I guess. Weird anatomy isnt my thing, I just used to have a lot of pets.
