So we have in Australia, Murray cod, which is
A native fish, they grow to be over 100 kilograms.
There's some anecdotal evidence that maybe in areas where they overlap, some juveniles might get taken by these big fish.
And then also birds of prey might also be an issue.
But the evidence for that stuff is pretty limited at this stage.
No.
So they actually, they will stay in the burrow for about three months.
And so when they emerge, they're 70 to 80% of the full adult size.
So they're coming out of the burrow like ready to go.
And often mom is...
sort of kicking them out too she's like you've overstayed kicking them out the door and even like even back sealing it so they can't get back in it's very much like he's turned 18 i'm changing the locks wow mom mom's over it she's my bitch but who blames her yeah she's done her job well okay a bunch of people from patreon asked this question a bunch of listeners did and i did not even know
I will say I do get that comment on social media a lot, which I love.
But yeah, the venom.
So male platypuses, they have this venomous spur on both their hind.
It's on their ankles, essentially.
And it has a venom that is said to be the most excruciating pain known to man.
Yeah, like there was a record of someone, I think it was the Korean War or Vietnam War, and he had like,
full body shrapnel wounds and later in life he actually got spurred by a platypus and he said that the spurring from the platypus was worse than any war injury he sustained so yeah like there's no anti-venom morphine won't help like you're going to pass out from the pain
And then you could be in pain for months, like, and some people report even years of this ongoing pain.
So the venom is like really serious.
