Many people call the platypus as duckbill because this animal has a bill like a duck’s bill. Platypus is a native in Tasmania And also southern and eastern Australia.
Platypus has a flat tail and webbed feet. Its body length is 30 to 40 cm and covered thick and woolly layer of fur. Its bill is used to detect prey and stir up mud. The platypus’ eyes and head are small. It has no ears but has the ability to sense sound and light.
Platypus lives in streams, rivers and lakes. Female platypus usually digs burrows in the streams or river banks. The burrows are blocked with soil to protect it from intruders and flooding. On the other hand, male platypus does need any burrow to stay in.
