Scientists figure out the platypus

I can rest easy tonight knowing that scientists have figured out the platypus.

With a bill like a duck, a tail like a beaver and snake-like venom hidden in heel spurs, the platypus could be the result of some strange genetic experiment.

And it is, scientists say: evolution.

Well of course they said it was evolution. Shocking.

By comparing platypus genes to those of humans and other mammals, scientists hope to fill in the gaps about mammals’ evolution and better identify species’ specific traits.

Ahh, the ever-elusive transitional evidence.  That’ll be the day.
