I learned about the platypus when I was seven. I am now more than two decades on from that incident and have weathered the severe willies induced by documentaries covering your goddamned arachnid population. and yet:
Oh no, that mole isn't harmless... a colony destroyed the colonial town of Whangabattah in NSW in the 1870s, when their tunnelling collapsed the (then) famous Riley's Dune, burying the town under sand.
20 people died.
Some of the Sheep are harmless, however. Just don't look at them funny -- they know what that means.
Murwillumbah, Tuggeranong, Indooroopilly, Moolloolabah and Woolongong are all well-populated places today. Some of my own ancestors lived in a town called Yackandandah (nice place, by the way, quiet town in the mountains).

No, strike that.
Moles! On! Mars!
