About This Item

There are currently four platypus that you can sponsor at www.platypus.asn.au

Little Notch is an adult female platypus who gets her name from the small notch in her bill "shield", possibly caused by the sharp claws of a freshwater crayfish. Little Notch is one of several platypus who have been encountered many times during on-going APC research at Toorourrong. Her emerging life-history record is contributing greatly to our understanding of this elusive species.
The platypi coins are: Lucky VIP
