More likely that the Monotremes were the "missing link" of evolution from reptiles to mammals. The reptilian skeleton. Evolution from reptilian scales to quills to either feathers or hair.

The “fountains at the Bellagio” comment was brilliant!

“Syphilitic drip” - Ze Frank 👏

Never have I been so happy to see a sponsor break.

“Unkempt navel of a construction worker” 😂😂

[@Herr_Affe]

Hm. I never knew an echidna winky looked like that. And by _that_ I mean something that looks like a cursed, fleshy version of a musical instrument. I can't imagine it'd be easy to pee with one of those. Then again, I doubt echidnas are worried about the accuracy of their streams.

This is my favourite video of yours, which is saying something with how top tier they all are! I love echidnas even more than before!

Either your writer got *_really_* into some exceptionally wild substances, or this is a once in a lifetime banger among bangers. I genuinely smirked in awe at the jokes in this video. A+

Ze really put his 4 heads together and really nailed the echidna.

The stages of embryo and Frank's descriptions of them are SO DAMN FUNNY

"Now you're thinking about it"...Fantastic video.

It all comes full circle. now you need to get Morgan Freeman to agree to do an episode.

[@Eyam_Druggs]

One of those videos that's so f@¥n funny you want to show everyone but you decide not to because you don't want to get arrested.

[@finchdigsflorida]

If we're redoing early videos, I can't wait for the updated Facts About Morgan Freeman

[@logic.and.reasoning]

One of the BEST channels ❤😂

This episode feels like someone wrote it after mixing up water with a high power energy drink during the process of making coffee and then accidentally grabbed the fun powder instead of the sweetener.
