Trivia: Which of these mammals uses electricity to hunt?
Rhinoceros
Gerbil
Platypus
Lemur
The correct answer is Platypus
So why is this answer correct? : The platypus is one of nature’s strangest creatures — in fact, when they were first discovered, researchers thought they were a hoax. After accepting their existence, scientists were puzzled by the aquatic mammal’s ability to hunt in dark water. Further study revealed that the platypus’ bill contains thousands of cells that are sensitive to electrical impulses. Using a process called electroreception, the platypus can detect prey using electrical currents underwater.
