Platypuses do not have nipples. Also their right ovary is not functional

"Although possessing mammary glands, the Platypus lacks teats. Instead, milk is released through pores in the skin. There are grooves on her abdomen that form pools of milk, allowing the young to lap it up"

"The female Platypus has a pair of ovaries but only the left one is functional"

Platypii

The plural would be platapi, not platapii nor platapuses nor platapusses.

For a noun ending in -us you drop the -us and add an -i to pluralize. This is coming from a guy who took latin for a year in university, so take it for what it's worth.

Evolution doesn't "mess up". Environments change, however.

Sure it does. Look at all those kids born with extra limbs and stuff.

And look at the ninja turtles. Maybe some mutagen got into the Aussie ecosystem or something.

But those kids don't end up procreating so that stuff doesn't really get passed on.

Exactly. So what?

Evolution isn't some kind of force or agent like Cthulhu, it's a description of what happens to species over time. Evolution can't mess up any more than gravity can.

You're confusing Evolution with natural selection if you think somehow and extra limb would stop most people from fucking, especially if its the right limb. :awe:
