Male platypuses have a venomous spur on each of their hind legs, through which they can deliver a poison strong enough to kill a small dog, and to cause almost paralysing agony to an adult human.
Female platypuses do not have venom, but they are born with spurs. These spurs fall off by the time the young female is about a year old.
