Possibly the oddest quality of the platypus is its bill, which is equipped with electroreceptors which can detect tiny crustaceans in the water, on which the platypus feeds. It is the only mammal with such a bill.

Its feet are also odd. They have retractable webbing; the webbing enables them to swim more efficiently, and it retracts so that the platypus can dig its burrows for shelter.
