Ever seen a picture of a platypus?
Strand creature these things are
They live on the east coast of Australia
The bizarre appearance of this mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, with some considering it an elaborate fraud
First off it is a mammal ¡V that lays eggs
It has a beaver like tail, a bill that looks like a duck
Its feet are like an otter, webbed for swimming
And it is venomous
It is one of the few venomous mammals
The male platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom capable of causing severe pain to humans
It is indeed an amazing creature
I think these are proof of God having a sense of humor
They are funny looking
And indeed part of the mighty works He has made
How about a cheetah?
The smallest of the big cats, it has amazing speed and stealth, while lacking climbing skills
It is the fastest land animal reaching speeds between 70 and 75 mph in short bursts covering distances up to 500 yards.
The cheetah can accelerate from 0-68 mph in 3 seconds
Faster than most sports cars
That¡¦s fast, and our God created the cheetah
One of my favorite animals is the elephant
These massive creatures are a sight to see
The largest elephant ever recorded was shot in Angola in 1956
This male weighed about 26,000 lb with a shoulder height of 13.8 ft
And these massive beasts are not dumb giants
With their large 11 lb brains they display a wide variety of behaviors
Including grief, making music, art, play, use of tools, compassion, and self-awareness
All evidence of a high intelligence level
These mammals are very interesting and again created by our God
All these animals and the thousands more are all part of the works Thy hands have made
