The platypus is more important than just as an exception because it actually had a huge thing to say about mammalian evolution. The physics community keeps us interested in a class of equations called hyperbolic equations that maybe we would discount and we'd stay in the case of elliptic equations. So this happens, I don't know why it comes to mind, but in biology, this happens around mites. Most of us biologists just don't even pay attention to the fact that they're there.
