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.
Bill and Mouth. The platypus's beak is called a bill. It is flat, quite soft, rubbery and very sensitive (it looks like it's made of plastic). Electroreceptors on its bill are so sensitive that they can detect even the smallest movements made by underwater worms, insect larvae and crustaceans on which its feeds.
