Platypus With a Silly Sun Hat

A fluffy platypus stands tall, showing off his wide duck bill and large, webbed feet. On his head sits a floppy hat, decorated with four dangling corks that bounce beside his furry cheeks. His little eyes peek out, bright and curious, like he is ready for a day exploring the riverbank. Every bit of his body ripples with soft, feathery fur, and his paddle-shaped tail curls up behind him.

This platypus looks so proud of his fancy hat, like he picked it out just for fun. Each of his big feet spreads wide, waiting to splash in cool water. You can even see the playful wrinkles in the hat, as if he just put it on. With so many interesting shapes and fluffy textures, he invites you to fill him with color and bring his river world to life.

Fun Fact!

A platypus spends about 10-12 hours every day foraging for food in the water.
