Evolution was all like: Ok, so which mutations would you like to advance? The venomous thing? The aquatic thing? The electrocuting enemies thing? The no stomach hack? The "Fun at parties" hack?

Platypus: Yes.

Platypus have been around for over 110 million years. Nothing broken about that build!

So they were created about the same time as dinosaurs and flowers? Evolution was feeling really creative at that part of Cretaceous.
