Platypus Peek Over the Log

A bright-eyed platypus pops up behind a sturdy log, webbed feet stretched wide and bill tilted in a happy grin. His big eyes sparkle with curiosity as he peeks right at you, almost as if he is ready for a little splash or a fun game. The log sits across the page with swirling tree rings and bumpy wood grain lines, giving plenty of space for wild colors.

He grips the edge gently, claws showing but soft, and his round tail peeks up behind him like a paddle. The platypus's fuzzy body is drawn with tiny, quick lines, making him look soft and playful. Every part of this scene invites you to bring it to life with your favorite colors and a bit of your own story.

Fun Fact!

Platypus puggles make little squeaking sounds to communicate with their mother.
