Is there anything more uniquely Australian than a Platypus? Here, along the banks of Melbourne’s waterways, you might just catch a glimpse of these elusive creatures. Often called ‘shy’, the Platypus is a testament to Australia’s incredible biodiversity. These creatures are more than just cute; they are living fossils, one of the few mammals that lay eggs! Imagine that, a mammal, with a duck bill, webbed feet, and venomous spurs, laying eggs! The Platypus is truly one of a kind. The best chance to spot a Platypus is at dawn or dusk, when they’re most active. Keep your eyes peeled as they surface for air, their sleek bodies disappearing back into the water just as quickly as they appeared. While sightings in urban areas are becoming rarer due to habitat loss, remember, just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there. The Platypus is a master of camouflage and a reminder of the hidden treasures that exist within our natural world. Let’s do our part to keep it that way.
