Playful Platypus by the Riverbank
Meet a curious platypus splashing by the river’s edge, ready for a day of exploring its watery world. With webbed feet and a wiggly tail, this friendly creature loves to paddle along and peek under lily pads for tasty treats. Imagine the gentle ripples in the water as you color, and think of all the hidden stories this shy animal might quietly observe in its peaceful home.
FUN FACT
A platypus needs to eat a lot of food each day, sometimes almost half its own body weight, to stay energetic!
