Platypus - bird, reptile, or mammal?

Upvote for the future conquerers of the planet Earth.

This clip doesn't even go into detail on how interesting of a creature this is. I wish National Geographic would get back to representing the facts about interesting animals, instead of sounding like an episode of America's Most Wanted.
They lay eggs, though they're warm blooded, they can hunt by electrolocation when using their bill to forage, females have two ovaries but only one is functional. After hatching, the young still feed from milk produced by the female, not from teets, but from pores in the skin.

They're just crazy animals. A real wonder of nature.
