Apart from the obvious reproductive differences, the main physical difference between male and female platypuses is that the female is considerably smaller.
While both males and females have a spur on their hind ankle when young, the female's spur falls off before she is a year old, and the male's becomes his primary defence, with a debilitating venom.
The female platypus has sole responsibility for the raising of the young platypuses. The male has no part in raising the young platypuses.
