Platypuses have a unique skin that is covered in dense, waterproof fur, which helps them maintain body temperature in cold water. Their skin is also smooth and has a layer of fat underneath, providing insulation. Unlike many mammals, platypuses do not have nipples; instead, they secrete milk through openings in their skin, which the young lap up from the surface. Additionally, their skin is sensitive and equipped with electroreceptors, allowing them to detect electrical signals from prey in the water.
