Patchwork Platypus Swims by

A cheerful platypus paddles along, covered from nose to tail in wild zigzags and leafy shapes. He fans out his sturdy flippers, ready to splash, while his wide, duck-like bill stretches into a gentle smile. His eyes are bright and curious, searching for shiny pebbles under the water.

Patterns twist and curl all over his smooth back and soft belly. His webbed feet look ready for a race through ripples, and his thick, beaver-like tail curves behind him. Every inch of the platypus’s body buzzes with lines and diamonds, placing him right at home in a magical pond.

Fun Fact!
