That platypus isn't a hotel clerk, he's the *VICTIM*

“Phineas and Ferb”’s creator was questioned A LOT why Perry was the color he is, once this was found out, the creator just laughed at them.

Im happy the raccoon and his kid recovered well after the playground incident.

Poor platypus😔
//Thank you for including Thai language too! Your animation is so cute😭💐💖

[fridasalgado]

For those interested:
The platypus doesn't produce sweat, they produce mucus as a protection for diseases and keeping their fur thin and slick, and the females transpire milk for the babies to lick, so all these things combine and show up under uv light

That was the night Perry decided to challenge everything

The saddest part is that clearly he's completely innocent and really doesn't know what does blue mean.

[HarlowThestarboy]

That’s just some cartoon platypus…

*PERRY THE CARTOON PLATYPUS?!*

[ByeClownGuy]

I love how nonchalantly he asks “what does blue mean” the first time, it’s so disarming and innocent

[faintduch]

The genuine concern to fear to partial understanding into anguish was top notch, jokes aside the voice actor for that platypus deserves a raise

[kenlee]

The raccoons facial expressions of complete and utter disgust and unfathomable pity really is the chef’s kiss with this gem.

يتوهج فراء خلد الماء (platypus) تحت ضوء الأشعة فوق البنفسجية بسبب وجود صبغات معينة في فروه تسمى البيوفلورسينس. هذا التوهج يحدث عندما تمتص بعض المواد الكيميائية في الفراء الأشعة فوق البنفسجية وتعيد إصدارها على شكل ضوء مرئي بألوان مختلفة مثل الأخضر أو الأزرق. يُعتقد أن هذه الظاهرة قد تساعده في التمويه، حيث تخفف من وضوحه لدى الحيوانات المفترسة التي تستطيع رؤية الضوء فوق البنفسجي، أو قد تكون لها وظائف أخرى غير معروفة بعد.

“Why am I blue? Does everybody glow blue?” That line is so hilariously

[dizzymoon_j]

I think that platypus will never be the same after that...

[TitiLeGamerz]

Platypus is the animal who got all the weirdest caracteristic of all the nature

[dawshonaragma]

To explain to those not in the know, bodily fluids floresce under a blacklight. Platypuses are unusual because they also do so, unlike most other animals.

[lordofthelandsquids]

lol the raccoon's scrunched-up face at the end really got me, I love these animations!

[jestersraven]

I like to think the Racoon was there holding the Blacklight and shaking his head while the Platypus was showering and crying

[argentissidepiece]

the voice acting is immaculate 😭🙏 the crying got me
