The platypus's venom gland is in its upper thigh. In the male platypus, this gland is attached to a hollow spur behind its rear ankle through which it can deliver the venom. Female platypuses do not have venom glands.
Yes. Like all mammals, the platypus has mammary glands.
Paratoid glands.
Platypuses do not shoot poison. They only inject poison into predators which threaten or attack them. Platypuses do not use their poison on their prey, as they feed on tiny crustaceans and larvae that live on riverbeds and pond beds. They locate these ctreatures via sensitive electroreceptors in their bills.
They secret a poison through glands under their skin.
no
No. Male platypuses have venomous spur on their ankles, which are attached to venom glands in their thigh.

Platypuses are easy to classify. They are mammals. Platypuses are mammals because, like all mammals, they feed their young on mothers' milk. The defining trait of a mammal is to have mammary glands, to produce milk for its young. The platypus produces its milk from numerous glands over its underside, unlike other mammals which have teats.There are other reasons why platypuses are classified as mammals, such as having skin, hair or fur, being warm blooded and breathing via lungs (not gills).It just happens that platypuses, like echidnas, are egg-laying mammals, or monotremes. But they are still mammals.
Platypuses do feed their young on mothers' milk, but the young do not suckle from teats. The mother platypus secretes milk from glands on her abdomen, which the young platypus drinks, but she does not develop teats.
No. Sharks do not have poison glands anywhere on their bodies.
