PLATYPUS

The Platypus is an extremely different mammal found is Eastern Australia. The platypus has a beaver-tailed, webbed feet and a large rubbery snout that look as duck’s, and has eyes and ears that shut whilst underwater. The platypus is covered with wooly furred that has three different layers. The first layer is for keeps the animal warm, the second layer, which provides an insulting coat for the animal, and the third layer of long flat hairs to detect objects close by. These creatures’ body is 30 to 45 cm long and the weight on average between 1 to 2.4 kg. The platypus is known to live for at least 12 years in the wild.

The platypuses live on the edges of rivers and freshwater lakes where burrows can be dug for their shelter and protection. The platypus is a nocturnal animal; they often rest in the burrow during days and are active mainly at nighttime hours. Platypuses are renowned for their excellence in the water as both a diver and swimmer.

The platypus use their webbed feet for swimming. Whilst underwater, they have their eyes and ears shut and being buoyant. They swim underwater for about 2 minutes before returning to the surface for oxygen. However, they can stay underwater for up to 10 minutes, and due to their natural buoyancy, they need to be underneath another object to do this.

The platypus usually feed at night with insect larvae, shrimps, and worms by dabbling in silt on the bottom of rivers and freshwater lakes with its sensitive, flexible and duck-like snout, aided by electroreceptors (electronic sense) on its beak. The insect larvae, shrimps, and worms, that have been caught, are stored in the cheek pounches and will be chewed after returning to the surface. The platypus can eat their own body weight in food in one night.

Platypus is on of the monotremes. Not like other mammals, platypuses lay eggs rather than giving birth. Platypus males are larger than females. Mating occurs onces a year, beginning in late June and in October. The female usually lays two eggs, but may lay up to four and incubates these against her abdomen (by clasping them with its tail) for about two weeks in a blocked-off nest at the end of a long breeding burrow. The young platypus (puggle) have no fur when they hatch. The female has no teats. Milk is produced in large glands under her skin which oozes out onto a patch of fur and the puggle sucks it up.

The male platypus has a sharp hollow horny spur about 15 millimeters long on the inside of both hind leg ankles. This is connected to a venom gland, which produces a very strong toxin. The spur can be used in defense against predators (the venom can cause excruciating pain in humans and is strong enough to kill a dog).

The platypus is an aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia. Platypus is a nocturnal animal (active at nighttime hours). And they also a mammal that lays eggs rather than giving birth.
