Beautiful, majestic, mysterious and downright odd are all possible descriptions of the Platypus.

 

 

Here is an animal whose general structure puts it somewhere on a level with reptiles and birds but at the same time suggests a closer relationship to those animals we call mammals.

 

Thousands of years of isolation have made the Tasmanian Platypus genetically discrete from other Australian Platypuses and makes them one of the most unique animals on earth.
