Best Answer

No mammal has a duckbill.

The platypus is sometimes mistakenly called the "duckbill platypus" but this is a complete misnomer. The platypus's bill is nothing like that of a duck, being flatter and broader. Also, it is equipped with electroreceptors which enable it to find food underwater. The duck's bill does not have this facility.
