OLD EGG-THEMED THREAD REPOST
It took almost a century between the platypus becoming known to western scientists and conclusively proving that they laid eggs. Oh, and there were a few existential crises along the way.
For the first couple of decades of knowing about platypuses, quite a lot of them were convinced it must be a hoax, because look at it.
Platypuses have traits of birds and reptiles, but also have traits of mammals. Rather puzzling to scientists picking over pickled specimens was their internal reproductive system was more like a bird than a mammal.
Female platypuses don't have vaginas. They have a cloaca, which is a single hole for pee, poo, sex and eggs. Eggs. Which they lay.
@vagina_museum great sentence.
Tfw no cloaca, which is a single hole for pee, poo, sex and eggs. 
Isn't that the name of the unreleased album from Red Hot Chili Peppers?
