Waving Platypus by the Riverbank

A cheerful platypus sits with a wide, beaky grin and round, twinkling eyes. He stretches up one webbed paw in a big, friendly wave. His little toes curl on the grass as his flat tail pokes out behind him, looking sturdy and strong. He looks like he wants to say hello to every new friend who walks by.

The platypus’s bill spreads out across his face, dotted with tiny nostrils. His plump body shows soft tufts of fur on the edges, just waiting for bright colors. With his happy wave and playful smile, he turns a quiet riverbank into a welcome party, ready for a rainbow of new colors to splash all around him.

Fun Fact!

The electroreceptors in a platypus bill are arranged in stripes, helping it pinpoint the exact location and distance of prey.
