The Bashful Baby Platypus

A squishy little platypus nestles down, feet tucked in close, with his bill held in both paws. His big round eyes peek up, eyebrows curved with a hint of worry, as if he just realized he forgot where he left his favorite worm. His chubby belly and soft little toes make him look like he just rolled out of bed and needs a big platypus hug.

Each round curve and tiny finger shows how gentle this baby is. He sits close to the ground, tail curled beside him, too bashful to swim or splash just yet. Intertwining his little hands, he looks out with a sweet, puzzled expression—waiting for someone to join him in a bit of cozy company.

Fun Fact!

A platypus needs to eat a lot of food each day, sometimes almost half its own body weight, to stay energetic!
