Platypus Pal with a Special Egg

A cheerful little platypus sits with a wide grin, proudly holding a big round egg snug against his belly. His webbed feet poke out beneath the egg, and three leafy plants curl around him like a soft nest. His bill turns up at the corners, and his bright eyes shine as if he just spotted something exciting.

Every line in the picture feels friendly and welcoming, right down to his soft fur and chubby cheeks. The egg nearly fills his lap, and the leafy ground gives the scene a cozy forest feel. This happy fellow looks ready for a new day, and maybe even a hatching surprise!

Fun Fact!

A platypus has a wide, flat, rubbery bill that looks like a duck's bill, but it's soft and covered in sensitive skin, not hard like a bird's beak.
