Baby Platypi?

Or Platypuses?

The answer to the question of "what do you call baby platypuses?" is:

Puggles!

Or so I thought. Until I came across this bit:

'A baby platypus is not called a puggle, which seems to be a common misconception. There is no official name for a baby platypus, but a common suggested name is "platypup".'

No one wanted to chime in on that one?

I thought Jay might win. Or Adam or Paddy.

Oh well...they are very freaky those fellers.

    What about their venemous spine that could kill man and cause more pain than any other animal? Eh- Mr. Science?

    I have heard that they sun themselves on what is known as a "Pussyplater"
