Wiggly Platypus Swims by the Pond

A plump little platypus glides through gentle water, wide flat bill leading the way. His round black eyes peek out, and his smooth tail fans behind as he paddles with webby feet. Ripples flow all around, drawing lines that look almost like wiggly noodles.

He looks curious, as if he just spotted something interesting beneath the surface. His body is covered in short, soft fur marked with quick lines, and his fins splay wide for a smooth swim. Every inch says he’s enjoying his day in the cool blue pond.

Fun Fact!

A platypus has no teeth as an adult, but very young platypuses have a few temporary molars that fall out.
