- I've been reading a lot about the platypus lately, seems like since the genetic code was cracked many pages have done articles about it. They're all a little different, each leaving something out. This was a fair bit different from BBC's version or Reuter. From the page: "hen the first platypus specimens were brought to England from Australia in the 18th century, Wilson says, "most of the naturalists who looked at them thought they were some kind of fake." People suspected that a taxidermist had gotten creative "and sewn the bill of a duck on some sort of beaver-like creature and added webbed feet for grins," he says. "
