The platypus is a one-of-a-kind monotreme that resides in the rivers and streams of eastern Australia. This small, semi-aquatic animal is known for its distinctive duck-bill, webbed feet, and the rare trait of laying eggs despite being a mammal. It is a fascinating symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife.
