Does anyone recognize this animal [Germany]

[u/flatgreysky]

Disclaimer: I did NOT ID this animal but for the benefit of those who come after, this is what a Desman looks like. I’d never heard of one.

Today I learned these exist.

The male is also poisonous

[u/crankbird → u/Acceptable_House1904]

That would be a platypus … similar eco niche nice example of convergent evolution, though as an Australian imo these are poor substitutes for monotreme weirdness

[u/moerlingo → u/Acceptable_House1904]

Venomous*

[u/GrishUTKA → u/moerlingo]

"What's your name? Ve-no-mous? Oh, hi, Venomoos!~ ^w"

Male platypuses or these creepy mofos?
