Am I Cuddly?
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
My children come from eggs, though they are fed on milk.
My gait resembles a lizard, but I surely am warmblooded.
I am an expert swimmer because my feet are webbed,
and my tail is a broad flat paddle.
Yet, I still have claws, and my legs contain venom,
whilst my tail is also a food store.
My mouth looks like a duck though I cannot quack, and my voice growls like a dog.
I am a most ingenious paradox.
