patgundIn humans, the usual is XX=female, XY=male.
In platypuses though, it's XXXXXXXXXX = female, XYXYXYXYXY = male.
Which seems to be additional evidence that God/Goddess was stoned when the Platypus was created.
Platypus sex is XXXXX-rated
"In most mammals, including humans, sex is decided by the X and Y chromosomes: two Xs create a female, while XY creates a male. In birds, the system is similar: ZW makes for a female, while ZZ makes for a male.
But in platypuses, XXXXXXXXXX creates a female, while XYXYXYXYXY creates a male. In other words, rather than a single chromosome pair, platypuses have a set of ten-chromosomes that determine their sex."
