Bubbles Trail Behind the Playful Platypus

A cheerful platypus dives down, his wide bill leading the way through a forest of dancing bubbles. His paws paddle quickly, sending tiny whirlpools swirling behind him. The platypus’s eyes sparkle with excitement, and his flat tail stretches up, ready to help him steer through the water.

The water around him twists into wavy lines that wiggle alongside his slick body. Bubbles float everywhere, large and small, swirling past his round belly and funny, floppy feet. This busy little swimmer is having the best time exploring his underwater world.

Fun Fact!

A platypus has a relatively slow metabolism compared to other mammals of its size.
