Waddle by the Riverbank

A chunky little platypus waits at the edge of a winding stream, his flat bill pointing straight down to the sparkling water. Spiky whiskers dot his smiling face, while webbed feet rest in a patch of soft dirt. He looks busy and curious, ready to shuffle along the muddy bank.

Tall grasses reach above his head, with cattails poking up toward puffy clouds and gentle hills behind him. Wildflowers peek out close to his wiggly tail, and a cluster of pine trees stand guard in the distance. Every corner of this riverside scene feels alive and ready for a splash of bright color.

Fun Fact!

Platypus puggles stay safe in the nesting burrow, drinking their mother's milk for about 3 to 4 months.
