<p>In <em>Sabagebu!</em> episode 4, Mokarin tries to find out where Platy comes from. Everyone thinks that Platy is a platypus but they aren't able to confirm it since it doesn't do anything a platypus does.</p>

<p>So my question, is it actually a Platypus?</p>

Is Platy really a Platypus?

I think so, although it's never revealed - the name Platty (and in Japanese Kamo - short for Kamonohashi [platypus] ) and his appearance is pretty indicative of it.

If we use the [Duck Test](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_test):

> if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Platty:

* Looks like a platypus
* We don't really get to see Platty swim, but he does enjoy a hotspring - where platypuses can reside. [article about an investigation of Platypuses in Lake Kinrin hotspring water](http://www.ed.oita-u.ac.jp/kykenkyu/bulletin/kiyou/takahama32-1.pdf)

* He sorta sounds like a platypus <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsd7ZfdZcNU> , but it's more of a quack noise.

**Conclusion:** Maybe? (I don't think we're supposed to know)
