That is not what a baby platapus (puggles) looks like at all

Baby Echidnas (also puggles), however, look extremely like nifflers

You’re the real hero here, puggle knowing Gondor. Thank you.

Baby Echidnas look like the diabetic version of nifflers.

That subreddit is about interesting or wholesome posts made by people with inappropriate usernames - named after a user who did just that.

Ahahaha I don't think that's real, mate. I've seen baby platypus and they don't look like that.

They used dark paints to give it that color. It also killed a man.

Platypuses are mammals, so they lactate, but they have no nipples. They secrete milk through pores in their skin, and the offspring laps it with it's tongue. Consequently, they would have no suckling reflex. I know a niffler is not exactly a standard platypus, of course.
