The Platypus is stranger than you think.

Platypuses have no nipples.  After the young hatch, the mother oozes milk from the pores all over her body.

The male platypus has a poison barb on the inside of its hind legs.  The purpose of this weapon is uncertain.

While often compared to the beaver, the platypus is only about 20 inches in length -- more comparable to the size of the muskrat.

The Platypus bill is actually just an elongated muzzle covered with much the same kind of tough skin found on a dog's nose.  This bill contains an electrically-sensitive organ that can detect the electrical signatures of the small aquatic animals it eats.

Wrinkles and bone density
« on: June 21, 2011, 12:35:48 AM »
“Bone Density & Wrinkles could predict womans bone break risk”.Having spent some time up in the Himalayas (Ladhak), I did note that the higher I went, and the drier the air, the more ‘wrinkled’ people’s skin was. (Whereas, down on the Plains, in humid areas, such ‘aging’/’wrinkling’ was barely apparent).It had never occurred to me that ‘wrinkles’ might be relevant/related to ‘bone density’.  Should of course, have thought about ‘bone density’ at those 'heights', but it never occurred to me that the two factors might be connected until I read this article: http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2011/06/07/3237788.htmNot sure why it would just be ‘women’ in this particular study. ‘Up there’, in Ladhak, they would work as heavily as did the men. I looked further:  “Investigation on bone mineral density in normal group in XiShuangBanNa,Tibet and Inner Mongolia”  http://en.cnki.com.cn/Article_en/CJFDTOTAL-ZGZS200812007.htmAny comments?
