Why The Playful Platypus, you might well ask?
We wanted something whimsical, quirky and cute.
We are also concerned that this unique Aussie icon is endangered.. See The Platypus
What do you think is the most unique animal in the world?…
Surely it’s our very own platypus!
Our Aussie icon is a mammal that lays eggs, has webbed feet, venomous spurs, electro-receptors in its bill, biofluorescent fur and chews its food without any teeth!
There is truly nothing like them and we are fortunate to still have this wonderful creature as part of our landscape
Platypus make burrows in which to shelter and nest and so they need healthy streambanks where the soil is held together by the roots of riparian plants.
Even though the platypus is one of our most unique and iconic animals, there are big gaps in our knowledge about the creature, including where it lives and how big platypus populations are. With platypus numbers declining, the lack of existing platypus data is a huge barrier to getting the protection it needs from extinction.
