Platypus



A platypus is a semi-aquatic mammal found in eastern Australia where they live on the edges of rivers and freshwater lakes where burrows can be dug. It is one of the mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young.

Because of its features; egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal, it became an iconic symbol of Australia. It has appeared as a mascot at national events and is featured on the reverse of the Australia 20 cent coin. The Platypus is the animal emblem of the state of New South Wales.

My eldest daughter bought this cute and very lifelike doll from her flight to Australia.
