platypus shoulders are real fuckin weird- the scapula is actually flipped vertically so it sticks straight up into the air and there’s a whole extra bone in the joint that no other mammal has!

this arrangement serves as an anchor point for the platypus’s MASSIVE fucking forelimb muscles and has a lot in common with lizard shoulders, of all things! 

but the real takeaway here is this: you know how platypus is shaped like football?

that’s all muscle. 

muscle with some flippers sticking out the sides like an afterthought.
