The Mysterious Life of the Platypus

The platypus is one of the most unusual animals in the world. It's a mammal that lays eggs and has a duck-like bill. They are only found in freshwater streams and rivers in eastern Australia. They have electroreceptors in their bills that can detect the electrical signals of prey in the water, and they use their webbed feet to dig for food like shrimp and worms. Male platypuses have venomous spurs on their hind legs, which they use to defend themselves during fights. Platypuses are also unique in that they are one of the few mammals that are active during both the day and night. Sadly, they are classified as "near threatened" due to habitat loss, pollution, and climate change.
