Both types of monotremes - the platypus and the echidna - are unusual, but perhaps the platypus is considered the most unusual of all.
The platypus has a bill equipped with electroreceptors which it uses to find its food. It must live on land but find its food in the water. It has retractable webbing on its feet so that it can still use its sharp claws to dig.
