Billy the Busy Platypus Smiles Wide

Billy the platypus spreads his three webbed feet across the ground and lifts his chubby tail with a gentle curve. He has a wide duck bill that looks ready to chatter, and a cheerful black eye that promises plenty of wiggly fun. The lines on his flippers and tail show he likes to paddle and play.

Billy’s round body fills the space, leaving lots of room for bright colors. His bill points slightly up, as if he just heard something giggle nearby. With his soft belly and bouncy shape, he looks ready to dive into a make-believe river or nap by the muddy bank.

Fun Fact!

If a platypus is caught on land, it will try to escape to the water or might try to defend itself with its claws (and spurs if male).
