There are many pictures and stories out there of nature creating impossible to believe creatures, but ever since the popularity of photo editing took off it’s hard to tell which ones are real, if any of them! A venomous mammal with a beak that lays eggs has to be made up, right? (Nope! That’s a platypus!) Join us for a presentation on animals that look too “invented” to exist, and quiz yourself on which ones are real or not!
