The platypus is possibly the weirdest animal: it's a mammal but lays eggs, its duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed and venomous. It has electroreceptors for locating prey, eyes with double cones, no stomach, and 26 pairs of chromosomes. It's fluorescent and glows under UV light.

EMBL scientists found metabolism controls embryonic development tempo through signalling in a way separate from its established metabolic function.
More research related to this signalling could illuminate how it guides cell fate, developmental timing -- even disease.
