Platypus
It’s a creature that poses a lot more challenge for evolutionists than creationists. It is a kind of animal, no problem at all for creationists.
But for evolutionists, the lack of transitional forms between the platypus and other animals should be worrisome. It is not postulated as any kind of link between species, it is a dead end on the evolutionary tree, a deadend that has so many differences from the trunk it supposedly came from (sex chromosomes, milk through pores (a new way of feeding the young that the young somehow simultaneously evolved to take advantage of), etc.) that it raises many very interesting questions, such as: If it is an evolutionary variant that was “trying” lots of new features that went nowhere in terms of creating new specieis, why aren’t there are many more creatures like this one?
Could it be that the reason it doesn't quite fit the rules is that it's genetic code is unique using the basic building blocks in a different combination assigned at its inception? Rather than a series of random and unguided mutations which are incapable of supplying useful variation, all the genes were planned assemblies through the the cellular growth, division & recombination. Rather than an accident, could the Duck Bill Platypus be on Purpose?
