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.
No. Adult male platypuses have venomous spurs on their ankles, which is different to being poisonous. Poison is ingested; venom is injected or administered by another simila â¦ r method. Apart from several species of shrews and the Cuban solenodon, platypuses are the only venomous mammals.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.
The platypus is one of the most unusual creatures in the animal kingdom. Platypuses (which is the correct plural form, not platypi) have a paddle-shaped tail like a beaver; a sleek, furry body like an otter; and a flat bill and webbed feet like a duck.In fact, the first time a platypus was brought from Australia to Britain, people couldn't believe that it was a real animal.latypuses are among the few venomous mammals. Males have a spur on the back of their hind feet that is connected to a venom-secreting gland. More venom is secreted during mating season, leading researchers to think that the spurs and venom help males compete for mates, according to the Australian Platypus Conservatory.
