Swirly Platypus by the Riverbank

A cheerful platypus stretches out his bill and wide paddle feet, surrounded by wild, swirling patterns that invite every crayon and marker you’ve got. Spirals decorate his belly, zigzags zig on his legs, and triangles fill his cheeks. The bold black lines twist and turn to show off all his silly shapes and friendly face.

Behind him, giant leaf shapes and clever little dots dance in the water and air. This platypus looks ready for a splash, almost wiggling with excitement inside his swirly, bouncy world. Every feather and tail stripe jumps out, just waiting for bright, silly colors.

Fun Fact!

It's very challenging to breed platypuses in captivity, which makes zoo populations quite rare.
