Not that I disbelieve in evolution, but I'm still wondering exactly how platypi evolved to their current form...

They knew about the platypus' sense of electrodirection a couple of decades ago, when I was in college.

God stepped on the beak of the poor platypus,
And that's how he came to have so flat a puss.
Oh, who can imagine what it's like to be stuck
With a rear like a beaver and a front like a duck?

That's weird! I thought only sea creatures could do that. Though the platypus is an aquatic mammal...

It's a trait that seems to work best in the water.
