Many people call platypus duckbill
because this animal has a bill like duckbill. Platypus is a native Tasmania and
southern and eastern Australia.
Platypus has a flat tail and webbed
feet. Its body length is 30 to 45 cm and covered with a thick, and woolly layer
of fur. Its bill is detecting prey and stirring up mud. Platypus’ eyes and head
are small. It has no ears but has ability to sense sound and light.
Platypus lives in streams, rivers,
and lakes. Female platypus usually dig burrows in the streams or river banks.
The burrows are blocked with soil to protect it from intruders and flooding. In
the other hand, male platypus does not need any burrow to stay.
