Thumbs Up from Perry the Platypus

A cheerful platypus stands front and center, his bill wide in a big, goofy grin. He locks eyes with you, round pupils sparkling under curved brows, ready to share a happy moment. His feathers stick up at the crown, giving him a playful, slightly tousled look.

He proudly flashes a thumbs up with his webbed hand, as if to say, Everything’s going great! The lines around his smile almost invite you to draw your own giggles. With his big belly and friendly eyes, this platypus seems ready for a day of fun and new colors.

Fun Fact!

Platypuses are important bioindicators, meaning their health can tell us about the health of the river ecosystems they live in.
