The platypus is a remarkable mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. As one of the few monotremes, it lays eggs instead of giving birth to live young, a trait that sets it apart from most mammals. Adult platypuses typically measure between 15 to 24 inches in length, with males being larger than females. They possess a flat, streamlined body and dense waterproof fur that provides insulation in cold water. Their broad, duck-like bill is equipped with electroreceptors, allowing them to detect the electric fields generated by the movements of their prey
