The Platypus

I like the duck-billed platypus
Because it is anomalous.
I like the way it raises its family
Partly birdly, partly mammaly.
I like its independent attitude.
Let no one call it a duck-billed platitude.

Flying frog

This red-footed tree frog—discovered in 2007 in the Indian state of Assam—is among the 353 new species found in the Eastern Himalaya between 1998 and 2008, according to a report released in August by the conservation group WWF.

Dubbed the “flying frog,” this unusual amphibian uses its webbed feet as an aid while gliding through the air. (via nationalgeographic)
