Don’t be fooled by their cutesie little webbed feet or their weird “ducks bill”.
The Platypus is an incredibly interesting mammal.
The platypus is a monotreme - an animal that lays eggs. There is only one other type of monotreme in existence and it lives in Australia too - wanna take a guess at what it is?
Male Platypus have venomous spurs on their hind legs, the venom is extremely painful to humans.
All platypus glow under UV light.
This little fella is heading off on his own adventure real soon. He will be taking part in a collaboration with another creator of cute and weird Australian animals. Safe travels!
Have a great day 👋
