The platypus is a unique animal that lives in Australia. Although it lays eggs like a bird, it's a mammal. A platypus mother feeds her babies with milk from her body. The platypus spends much of its time in the water. It paddles with its front feet and steers with its back feet. The platypus scoops through the sand with its bill in search of worms and small water animals that it eats. The male platypus has sharp spurs and venom sacs on its back feet. It can scratch its enemies and poison them with its venom.
Cosmetic contact lenses pose risk of injury
Cosmetic contact lenses pose risk of injury Over the counter cosmetic contact lenses-- the
kind that make human eyes look like those of cats, lizards and
aliens or make a blue eye purple-- pose a risk of serious eye
injury. Health Canada's Hugh Davis said the main concern with over
the counter cosmetic lenses is that they are not personally fitted
to eyes, as prescription lenses are. Improperly fitting lenses can
interfere with oxygen flow to the cornea and cause
infection. OCTOBER 24, 2000
