Adopt a Duck-billed Platypus
Duck-billed Platypus facts:
Duck billed platypi live in burrows along eastern Australian and Tasmanian water banks, feeding on crustaceans and plants. With their duckbills, beaver-like tails and webbed feet, naturalists initially believed these strange creatures to be a hoax. Females usually lay two to three eggs in burrows dug along water banks, and curl up around the eggs to incubate them with their body warmth. Hunted for fur until a protective law was passed in 1912, platypi are currently threatened by habitat loss and bycatch.
