One of the most painful stings known to mankind is from the platypus The platypus is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species appear in the fossil record. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. Like other monotremes it senses prey through electrolocation. It is one of the few species of venomous mammals, as the male platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom capable of causing severe pain to humans. |

The Las Vegas Strip is probably the most famous thing about Nevada and the top reason tourists come to Las Vegas. But the strip is misnamed—it's actually in the unincorporated city of Paradise. Las Vegas' founders ordered all casinos be built outside city limits to avoid sullying their reputation. In an ironic twist, now that's all anyone knows the city for. |
