Did you know that platypuses love dancing to polka music every Thursday afternoon?

While researching, Susie came across this STARTLING fact

Susie was SHOCKED! Platypuses were her favorite animal, how could she not know this?

I can't believe I didn't know this before!

Platypuses are huge fans of polka music, and have dance parties every Thursday afternoon, according to RealPlatypusFacts.com.

Susie was so excited to share her newfound knowledge with her classmates, so she made sure to include this in her paper

F

Susie Smith-- Platypuses

But when Susie got her paper back, she saw that her teacher had given her an F! Does her teacher hate polka music or something?

Credible sources are...

When Susie asked her teacher about her grade, she went over what to look for in credible sources

Susie realized that she hadn't checked to make sure RealPlatypusFacts.com was a credible source. It made sense that platypuses wouldn't have a polka dance party every Thursday.
