Hi, Iâm Becki and I work for the Internal Revenue Service. You may have noticed that over the past several months, we have not been granting certificates of completion for IRS webinars â¦ which means you havenât been able to get continuing education credit.
Only adult male platypuses are venomous. Male platypuses have a venomous spur on each of their hind legs, through which they can deliver a venom strong enough to kill a small â¦ dog, and to cause almost paralysing agony to an adult human.latypuses are not poisonous at all, but adult males have venomous spurs on their ankles. Female platypuses do not have venom, but they are born with spurs.
It is one of the few venomous mammals, the male platypus having a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom capable of causing severe pain to humans.hile both male and female platypuses are born with ankle spurs, only the male's spurs produce venom, composed largely of defensin-like proteins (DLPs), three of which are unique to the platypus.
