  • What's it called again when two species develop the same adaptation independently? I used to know it and I'm too lazy to look it up.

  • @Craxblorg Did you mean convergent evolution?

  • thats rly weird the milk just appearing through the skin with no apparent opening. its like when you scrap your knee and the blood just oozes out evenly over the scraped skin.

  • @Pimpmastahanhduece you can say the same about sweating on human skin unless you zoom in to see the pores. The video is not high res enough to show any tiny opening.

  • The platypus and the echidna are the only two mammels that lay eggs they belong to a special group of mammels called monotremes

  • Very cute on the scientist's hand, but epically gross with it's mom. Ballsack, anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

  • No, this isn't weird at all. Just a couple random people go out finding echidnas in the wild and force the mother's pouch open, take out her super-sensitive two-day-old baby, and wiggle it around for the camera.

  • damn echidnas are weird

  • @xbox3shity You can't be serious? it has a pouch - there was no one near it's vagina!

  • @xbox3shity It has a pouch you silly goat. It was not in it's vagina!

  • i thought knuckles was borin by himself!

  • put the baby back in :(

  • Considering it's a girl, it would be more appropriate to name it Tikal, rather then Knuckles.

  • OMG that's so weird...they have to be the missing link(along with platypi) between birds and mammals....Crazy. They even look bird like sort of like a kiwi.
