Platypus of my eye

Like the apple of my eye... there is just something about this fluke of a creature that everyone loves - kind of like the Penguin only the Platypus lacks in popularity. I bet he's pretty pissed about that - i mean, you've got:


Chilly Willy





Badtz Maru



Feathers McGraw



Cozy Heart Penguin



Penguins from Mary Poppins


Pingu (one of my favs)


some i don't have pictured are the Linux penguin, Wheezy from Toy story and many more thanks to the recent explosion of penguin movies (i.e. Happy Feet, Surfs Up, Madagascar)


So, there just aren't many Platypi around...let me think...there's
Psyduck i think...


and theres Hexely- the official community mascot for the Darwin project....looks like a duck tho

But anyways, i think that the Platypus is upset over this catastrophe and i decided since theres so many freakin' cute penguins around i would create an angry Plat.. coniving if you will...what do you think?





maybe i need to work on it.. i'll make a few more versions of the platypus. I mean, i don't think he's THAT upset with his flightless friend...

Well hey! The Platty gets some big love in Australia! He's on a coin!

There's a lot of speculation over how to pluralize the word "Platypus". Some say "Platypi", others say "Platypusses". If you were to pluralize it directly from greek it would be "Platypods". I like that one best!

I've told you before that Platypods are venemous, but did you know only the males are venemous?! It's tah-rue!

<3 for platypus

<3 <3 <3 for natsypus!
