The Miserable End of Darwinian Evolution
240B:
Sharks, Alligators, and Crocodiles, have been around for hundreds of millions of years. Very simple creatures who only live to eat and to reproduce.
On the other hand, complexity of the platypus is some kind of joke on nature. A duckbill venomous semi-aquatic amphibious mammal that lays eggs but nurses the young with milk. It has no stomach and no teeth. It grinds food using gravel. It detects prey using electrical receptors in its duckbill. It has a tail like a beaver which is used to store fat as a food reserve. The platypus is the most confused animal on Earth.
The first one that was sent back to Europe was deemed a hoax by scientists of the day. They considered such an animal to be preposterous and impossible.

There are critters out there that look like an assemblage of leftover parts thrown together (ostrich comes to mind, too), but Australia has long had a distinctly different fauna (marsupials abound).
