About This Item

Boondaburra Platypus

The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is considered to be one of the world's most unusual animals. It is often described as a living fossil - a furry, warm-blooded, egg-laying mammal which retains some features of reptiles. This is a very special Australian mammal.
Early British colonists in Australia called the platypus a "water mole". Prior to the arrival of European settlers, Aboriginal people had many different names for the animal, including "boondaburra".

It's so cute! Thought I'd leave it in its present hidey place so it may have better chance to get closer to water & eventually home.

Retrieved it with the idea we might take it to Australia with us, but as it hasn't been in N Z for very long, we'll leave it here.
