What is the most dangerous mammal?
Surprisingly, one of the most dangerous mammals is the seemingly innocuous platypus, a monotreme of Australia. The male platypus has a poisonous spur on each of its hind ankles, with which it can inject poison that is sufficiant to kill a small dog. Although no human deaths have been reported from an encounter with a platypus spur, the venom can cause extreme agony.
