Platypus
The shy Platypus is found only in eastern Australia, where they live on the edges of rivers and freshwater lakes where burrows can be dug.The best streams are ones where the banks are strong enough for building their deep burrows, and often these banks overhang the river. During theday, a Platypus often rests in this burrow, but it may spend some hours near the entrance to the burrow, basking in the sun and grooming its dense fur.But Platypuses are most active for several hours after dusk and before dawn. 
Platypuses are renound for their excellence in the water as both adiver and swimmer.
The Platypus has a bill that resembles a duck's bill but is actually an elongated snout covered with soft, moist, leathery skin andsensitive nerve endings. The body and tail are covered with a thick, soft, woolly layer of fur, from which long, flat hairs protrude. The Platypus isknown to live for at least 12 years in the wild.
Platypus males are larger than females. Mating occurs once a year, beginning in late June in thewarmer northern parts and in October in the southern part. The female usually lays two eggs but may lay up to four and incubates these against herabdomen for about two weeks in a blocked-off nest at the end of a long breeding burrow. The young "puggle" have no fur when they hatch. The female has noteats. Milk is produced in large glands under her skin which oozes out onto a patch of fur and the young Platypus sucks it up.
