Scientists observed microscopic structures called melanosomes, the stuff inside cells responsible for the pigment called melanin. The duckbill platypus, for some reason, has hollow, spherical melansomes, which were previously known to only exist in birds! Why does this animal have this biological feature? No one knows quite yet, but a guess is that it’s a leftover trait from an ancient ancestor.
