Where does the platypus's poison come from?
Platypuses do not have poison; they have venom. The venom can paralyse a victim just by its severity. People who have been "spurred" by a platypus report that the pain is strong enough to cause vomiting that may last for days, weeks or sometimes even months. The pain cannot be relieved by morphine and other standard pain-killing drugs. It seems the only way it can be relieved is through anaesthesia of the main nerve from the spur site.
Does the female platypus have poison claws?
No. The female platypus is not dangerous in any way. The male platypus has a venomous spur, but young females lose their spur by the time they are twelve months old, and it is never venomous.
Does a platypus's sweat contain milk?
Yes and no. In monotremes, which includes the platypus, there are mammary glands but no teats. When producing the milk, the mother excretes milk out of pores in the skin and the young platypuses lick the milk off the abdomen. The mother has grooves specifically designed to keep milk that is excreted out. These glands from which the milk is secreted are modified sweat glands on the platypus's abdomen. In all mammals, the mammary glands are really little more than modified sweat glands, but it's the the absence of nipples which is more obvious in platypuses. Interestingly, the male platypus's venom gland is also a modified sweat gland.

Do the male platypus and a female platypus look different?
Male platypuses have a venomous spur on each of their hind legs, through which they can deliver a poison strong enough to kill a small dog, and to cause almost paralysing agony to an adult human. Female platypuses do not have venom, but they are born with spurs. These spurs fall off by the time the young female is about a year old.
