No, because the platypus is not a marsupial. A platypus is a monotreme (egg-laying mammal). It is not the only venomous mammal.

Other venomous marsupials include the Cuban solenodon, Eurasian Water Shrew, Northern Short-tailed Shrew and Southern Short-tailed Shrew, just to name a few.

The spur is connected to a venom gland in the platypus's thigh.
