Q: The human record of people and their relationships? A: HISTORY
The platypus has quite a secure future. Although vulnerable to habitat loss and changes brought about by human interference, the platypus has enjoyed a resurgence in its population since becoming a protected animal. There are estimated to be as many platypuses now as there were when European settlement started.
The platypus does not move from its home - a burrow in a riverbank - unless it is forcibly ejected, whether by a predator, human interference or the need to move because of flooding.
animals relationships are about the same as human family relationships
Only the male platypus is capable of hurting a human. If a human interferes with a platypus to the point where he or she is injected with venom, the consequences can be extremely painful. Platypus venom contains a neurotoxin which induces paralysis, as well as a protein which lowers blood pressure, also inducing shock. 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.
No. There are no killer platypuses/platypi. The male platypus possesses a poisonous spur on his hind leg which can incapacitate a human, causing agonising pain, but it is only enough to kill a small dog.
