2. They can live up to 50 years.
3. One of only two known species of egg-laying mammals (the platypus is the other).

5. They mostly eat ants, termites and sometimes kittens.
6. Named after a monster in Greek mythology.
7. Their bodies are covered with thick spines like a Porky-Pine.
8. It curls into a spiny ball when threatened, which makes them easier to kill.
9. Their rear feet point backwards, stupid things.
10. The males have a 4 headed penis, naughty naughty.
11. They are lousy company in bed.
12. They enjoy dark ambient music.
13. They taste like chicken.
14. Can be used to clean tough floor stains.
