The platypus is a unique and iconic egg-laying mammal native to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is one of the few monotreme species, which are mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. The platypus has a duck-like bill, webbed feet, and a flat tail, making it highly adapted to its semi-aquatic lifestyle. It is a skilled swimmer and uses its bill to detect prey underwater, mainly feeding on small aquatic animals and insects. The platypus has venomous spurs on its hind legs, primarily used during competition and territorial disputes. Due to habitat loss and pollution, the platypus faces conservation concerns.
