Nervous System
Platypus have all five senses like humans, however, their sense of smell is the best. They have specialized organs in their mouth that help them smell called Jacobson's organs. Their brains are large comparatively to other animals of their size.
Special Senses
Their bills are extremely sensitive and have thousands of electro-receptors which help them to find prey by sensing their muscle movements. Platypus are the only mammals that are Monotremes, which means that they have the ability to receive and make use of electrical pulses.
