I interviewed at Manpower (Frederick, MD) in October 2016. Interview. Talked over the phone to get the basics, and then went in to take assessments and have an in person interview. The assessments were just a review of Microsoft Office programs, relatively simple.
Venom from platypus spurs probably won't kill you, but it could make you cry. Jason Edwards/Getty Images. As if egg-laying, nippleless nursing and electroreception in a mammalian species weren't enough for you to wrap your mind around, the platypus has one more curve ball to toss your way. The male platypus has a spur on either hind foot that excretes venom. Though females are also born with the spurs, they fall off before adulthood. Aside from two other mammals -- certain species of shrew and solenodons -- harboring venom is a trait usually reserved for reptiles and amphibians.
The platypus is quite a small animal. A male platypus is 50-60 cm in length, whilst the female is smaller, averaging 40-50 cm in length. They are very lightly built creatures,â¦ with females weighing as little as 900 grams, and males 1700 grams to 2kg. Platypuses in north Queensland tend to be smaller than their southern counterparts.
