-JalineNot true, I have stuff, here are some Jaline facts....
1. Jaline is among nature's most unlikely animals. In fact, the first scientists to examine a specimen believed they were the victims of a hoax. The animal is best described as a hodgepodge of more familiar species: the duck (bill and webbed feet), beaver (tail), and otter (body and fur).
2. Jaline hunts underwater, where they swim gracefully by paddling with their front webbed feet and steering with their hind feet and beaverlike tail. Folds of skin cover their eyes and ears to prevent water from entering, and the nostrils close with a watertight seal. In this posture, a platypus can remain submerged for a minute or two and employ its sensitive bill to find food.
3. On land, Jaline moves a bit more awkwardly. However, the webbing on her feet retracts to expose individual nails and allow the creature to run. Jaline uses her nails and feet to construct dirt burrows at the water's edge.
4. Jalie's reproduction is nearly unique. It is one of only two mammals (the echidna is the other) that lay eggs.
no wait, that's the platypus.
hmmm, I have no Jaline facts.
