Today in our Science class we’ve taken a closer look at the playtypus and we’ve watched some nice videoclips.
When you take a closer look at a picture of a platypus, it looks like a mishmesh of three different animals: webbed feet like a duck, body and fur like an otter and tail like a beaver.
The platypus is a semiaquatic egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania.
It is a carnivore, it feeds on worms, insect larvae and shrimps, that it digs out of the riverbed.
But we still have to learn all these things!
