What show was that about dragons? I love the story about how "clever" people in Europe (think it was Europe) thought the platypus was created out of parts from different animals when they first got hold of a dead one from Australia (think it was Australia). It looked so strange to them that they just could not believe that it really existed.

I think every being has a soul, including various species of creatures (those on Earth and those off of Earth or on different planes) and plants, rocks, etc. In my view, it wouldn't be impossible for you to incarnate as another species (wolf, cat, dog, mermaid, fairy, elf, etc.)
I can't remember the name of the show, it's been awhile since I've seen it, but I think it was either a Discovery Channel show or a History Channel show. It was looking at dragons and various myths of them including possible origins (from them being a race/species memory of large snakes, large bat-like creatures, etc. that may have hunted pre-hominid humans).
And about the platypus...given how they look and when they were discovered, it's reasonable to assume that they'd be made of various bits of animals...or maybe that they were a hoax created by someone else
(which was another theory, if I'm remembering my college courses correctly). It's pretty interesting to learn of how people in different eras viewed different creatures.
