Just to say,if you read up on the suffix,it would be platypupodes.The grammar isn't too important though.-Anonymous 12:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC) There has been a long and tired debate abou this.

Theres a new Quest in AdventureQuest (the orginal) called "Missing Miss Fixit" in which a Nuclear EMP platypus (named the platypulse) is the main antagonist( Undeadplatypus ( talk) 20:37, 24 October 2011 (UTC)) (I had to get the Scientific American article from microfiche.) Mgoldeen ( talk) 12:56, 22 June 2008 (UTC) For Cultural References I have a sad feeling I might not find anything available online. Maybe I can find that research that Mervyn Griffiths mentions in the article. A direct reference is needed to resolve this, I guess. article, Mervyn Griffiths appears to be trying to purge a mistake made by Physiological Review, and the unsupported statements in the Nature article seem to be propagating it. Ljvillanueva ( talk) 02:42, 22 June 2008 (UTC) The platypus genome paper does not provide a reference for the statement that the females lack nipples nor for the second statement about the "ancestral glandular mammary patch." In the S.A. So it appears that the platypus has a distinct area but not enough to be considered a nipple.
PLATYPUS PLATYPUS EVOLUTION PATCH
"Parchment-shelled egg-laying monotremes also exhibit a more ancestral glandular mammary patch or areola without a nipple that may still possess roles in egg protection" under the "Lactation and dentition" section.
"For about 4 months, when most organ systems differentiate, the young depend on milk sucked directly from the abdominal skin, as females lack nipples." Second paragraph. Mgoldeen ( talk) 00:57, 22 June 2008 (UTC) The platypus genome paper says:
I hope that autoconfirmed wikipedia editors (I am not such a one) can correct the misinformation in the wikipedia artice. Our work demonstrates that the mammary glands of the platypus are as well developed and elaborate as the are in most mammals." Any question about the nature of milk production in THE platypus was settled by research I carried out with my colleagues Gutta Schoefl and Carmel Teahan of the Australian National University, Michael Messer of the University of Sydney, Robert Gibson of Flinders University and Tom Grant. Nevertheless, in 1959 _Physiological Review_ published the statement that monotremes produce a fatty exudate that is licked up by the young from hairs covering pores in the skin-an erroneous finding often cited in popular accounts. Lauderdale Maule of the 39th Regiment of the British Army demonstrated, with the help of soldiers stationed in New South Wales, that the platypus has mammary glands that produce true milk. Here they imbibe milk from her two nipples, which are covered with fur but are otherwise similar to the nipples of other mammals." "The tiny suckling platypuses are held securely against the mother's abdomen by her tail, which she curls around them. In "The Platypus", Scientific American v. The wikipedia article says that Platypuses do not have nipples (teats), and refers to popular sources. Platypuses have fully developed mammary glands with teats
