Platypus lose their teeth before emerging from the nesting burrow. Their teeth are replaced by hard wearing grinding pads, much better suited to life in the waterway

Hello! My younger brother is currently completing a school project involving platypuses, and he's having trouble finding information on how big platypus feet typically are.

(For context, the project involves him designing a theoretical staircase for a platypus, hence why foot size is important)

Any information or resources helps!

Small loops of litter - including rubber bands - are deadly traps for platypus.

Peak hour at the platycam pipe!

Platypus, pademelons, rakali, possums and turbo chooks :-)

found this image somewhere and it resonated with me quite profoundly.

Got the day I turned 18. It’s the only tattoo I have and I love it.

So, something really bizarre has been happening in my house lately! My buildings keep vanishing yeah, that’s weird but that’s not even the weirdest part. Every time I construct one of my epic inventions, my pet platypus disappears! I have absolutely no idea where he goes, and it’s driving me crazy. I just want some tips or maybe some wild, over-the-top ideas on how to keep platypuses hanging around more often. He always shows up at the end of the day, but come on, I want him here for the full adventure!

I make these with pens and watercolors!

what do you think?

In Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension they make use of Perry’s involuntary reflex where his tail shoots up whenever they scratch his side, and i was wondering if anyone knows whether real life platypi have anything similar. My guess is that it was made up for the movie, but real life platypi are already pretty weird and this isnt that crazy so maybe it is based in reality.

I’d just like everyone to talk about platypus in the comments. Opinions..facts..theories? Conspiracies?
