The platypus

People thought the platypus was a hoax when they first saw it.  It looked strange.  It has a duck bill, a beaver's tail and the body of an otter.  It lays eggs, but it feeds its babies mammal milk.  It has venom.  It has no stomach, because it eats microbes that neutralize acids.  It has no teeth.  Its bill creates a watertight seal over the eyes and nose while it is swimming.  The platypus is found in Australia.
