Platypus | Can’t Sleep? Learn About Nature’s Oddest Mammal

The platypus is one of the most unusual animals on Earth. This episode explores the strange combination of traits that make the platypus so distinctive, from its duck-like bill and webbed feet to its ability to lay eggs despite being a mammal. Along the way, you’ll hear about its discovery, unique biology, venomous spurs, electroreception, and the many ways this remarkable animal challenged scientists’ understanding of the natural world. It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
