If Home could have spent a year hanging out with living platypuses in their river homes, he would’ve seen that this “shy, semi-aquatic, mainly nocturnal” mammal is mostly interested in hunting on the river bottom for delicious insect larvae, crayfish, and shrimp. In other words, the platypus is usually an eater, not a lover.
With all the action, Home probably wouldn’t be able to see that the males are also injecting each other with venom. Venom made by their crural glands—a sweat gland co-opted by evolution that swells with about a teaspoon’s volume of venom during mating seasons.
