Playful Platypus Swims Underwater Fun

Meet a curious platypus gliding through a gentle river, surrounded by smooth rocks and waving plants. Bubbles float to the surface as the platypus explores, peeking around with its big, friendly eyes. Imagine what treasures and tiny creatures the platypus might find beneath the water while you fill the scene with your favorite colors. Will its river home have sparkling blue water or a forest of tall, emerald-green plants?

FUN FACT

Platypuses are currently listed as "Near Threatened," meaning their populations are declining and they need protection.

COLORING TIPS

Try layering different shades of blue for the water and add texture to the platypus’s fur with short, gentle strokes. Make the plants extra lively by mixing green with hints of yellow or blue, and add colorful details to the rocks around the riverbed.
