I contacted the photographer, Den, and he not only let me use them, but also sent me this link if you want to see more. Den works to rehabilitate these critters, and has expressed his ire that platypuses get all the love, while the echidna is left in the dark. I agree with his sentiments.

While I am eternally grateful to this website for providing these pictures, I totally fail to see how they fit in with the theme of "Ugly Overload." Those things are adorable! Look at how cute and smooshy they are! Awwwww.... Heck, even the name is cute! "Puggle..." Hee.
ReplyDeleteYay! It's Fips! I admit I do find him charming. And yet those CLAWS... Yipes!
ReplyDeleteAu contrare! While its name is adorable, its self is truly disgusting. Mammals like that should only be handled with gloves. Thick gloves.
ReplyDeleteCuteoverload has been posting some pretty rough looking critters, like naked gunea (sp?) pigs and a duck with four feet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to my defense, Swintah. I've sensed quite a few haters out there lately.
ReplyDeletethe baby plata puse is adorable that is if it's a plata puse.but that fish with the huge mouth is creepy. i wounder how they got a picture without losin' a leg, a foot, or even the camera when it pops out of the water that would make me drop my camera. Ha! Ha! Ha!

ReplyDeleteit's a platapus.

It's not ugly at all! It's cute! The other things on this web site are definitely ugly though. Thanks for a good laugh. I came across this when I was researching puggles - as in, the beagle/pug dog.
ReplyDeleteA Puggle is a relatively new hybrid dog breed produced by mating a small female Beagle with a select male Pug. Puggle are the most popular designer dog breed. Puggle are for cuddles. The hot designer dog of the decade.
