Amazing nobody got spurred.

I would have called it a duckverine.

When it doesn't get its way, the platypus, like the teenager, will make a halfhearted attempt at suicide that no one really buys.

The platypus just wanted the person to yield, surrender, give up, capitulate, succumb, relent, defer, resign, abdicate, relinquish, quit, cede, bow, give in, come to terms, sue for peace, lay down arms, cease from, let go, submit, give oneself over, admit defeat, suffer defeat, forgo, humble oneself, waive, call it quits, back down, holler uncle, eat crow, abandon the item in question.

Itīs mineminemineminemineminemineminemineminemineminemineminemimine!

It's like an aquatic, marsupial bulldog.

It has the buttscritch reflex of a cat.

Nature's cutest mistake!
