![]() ![]() On the note of people apparently having been affected by the venom: how do people get to the point of getting to 'experience' this venom in the first place? I don't know that much about the platypus and I've never seen one personally, but I feel like you'd have to seriously provoke a platypus for it to introduce you to its venom? Like, actively go after it and grabbing it? Because I don't expect a platypus to just run up to an animal or person that's much bigger and attack them - but I might underestimate them lol.Īlso, what is the term for being injected with the venom? Since it's a barb that has the venom, would it be "sting"? "Stabbed"? "Injected"? (tbh, saying "I have been stabbed by a platypus" would be a pretty badass sentence, especially considering the pain that must have been survived). But just based on what I know about the platypus and how it lives, it seems like it would be equally shy as beavers are and just dive at the first sign of danger? So I'm surprised that guests can enter the habitat! A couple Australian zoos have done it once or twice, but the captive population remains very small. Haven't included the platypus yet, so I didn't even realize guests can enter. Platypuses are very difficult to breed in captivity. I would love to see some smaller exhibits, more flat kind of fish tank style. In real life you would never want an enclosure of that height for a terrestrial tarantula (ground level), arboreal tarantulas (climbing) would be fine as they're built for climbing, whereas the species they have in the game wouldn't be able to use these exhibits without the risk of them falling, which would be devastating. More than two and they would then be competing for that territory space and it wouldn't end up well at allĪlso, one thing that gets to me is that the exhibits are all one size. 1.Not a dumb question at all! If you were to have an enclosure of that size it's hard to say, but my thoughts are if it was just 2 then they might make their own little territories and leave eachother alone, but as with other animals tarantulas have their own "personality' (more temperament actually) so it would depend on how aggro. There seems to be quite a few references to Platypuses (Platypi) in captivity just from a quick Google search, so it looks like it has been done.
