The Platypus is a semi-aquatic egg, laying mammal of action. The platypus finds its dwellings in the Eastern Regions of present day Australia. The platypus is not your average everyday mammal. This is because unlike most mammals, the platypus lays eggs instead of having live babies. The platypus is a strange looking creature with the bill of a duck, webbed feet, and the tale of a beaver. The platypus also has a bunch of barbs that secrete a deadly venom that to other animals can be lethal but to humans it will just leave them impaired for a short period of time. The Platypus uses electro location to find its way around, much like that of other sea dwelling creatures. The Platypus is so much of a symbol to Australia that it is located on the reverse side of their twenty cent piece. The platypus is a very graceful creature but remember it should also be handled with care.
