Platypuses Pros And Cons
The platypus is really weird, I mean, it is the only animal that looks like it is a mix of animals. Maybe God threw in a bunch of animals in together and mixed them up.
On to its eating habits, it is a bottom feeder, isn’t that gross? Anyway they eat insects and other gross stuff found in the water with a little mud and gravel to help them chew it up. Platypuses live in rain forests in Australia and they are not easily seen by people because they do not like being around people.

    It is the belief of palyers that receiving or touching the Conference Tophy is a bad omen, and decrease a team’s chances of winning the Stanley Cup.

In 2008, The Penguins elected to not touch the trophy and lost, a year later they touch/picked it up and won Stanley Cup. It makes for an odd scene, with the palyers gathering around the trophy instead of celebrating their accomplishment.…

The following text will explain why human beings should be considered unique and why they should be in a different category from all the other non-human animals.…
