Here's me thinking they are the size of a beaver (grow up #youknowwhoyouare)

But, they are only around 50cm long.

My mind is blown (again, grow up).

My (grown up) daughter thought that King Penguins were the size of humans. It took her a while to get over the disappointment. Hope you are OK OP

Is that the mammal they’ve just come to the conclusion of whether they give birth to pups or eggs ?

On a similar note, The Kukaburra bird is larger than expected. It looks like a Kingfisher so thought it was the same size!

That's the one. I've been led to believe they laid eggs.

I had this, but in reverse, a while ago- by which I mean I was surprised by how big beavers can be. (Not an innuendo!)

I've seen beavers (stop it) in perspective, so I knew how big they were.

I need to see a platypus in the flesh.

A platypus is like a hybrid duck/beaver.

Well they don't teach you this at school!!! But now if it ever comes up in conversation or a quiz question then I can display my duckbill platypus knowledge and nail it.

I've seen an otter about five feet away from where I was standing. Scoffing tiddlers, with his head in the running water.
