Smiling Platypus Waves by the River
Meet a cheerful platypus splashing near its riverbank home. With a big wave and friendly eyes, this happy creature is ready to greet new friends and discover fun things along the water's edge. Platypuses live in Australia and love swimming with their webbed feet! Imagine what colors might hide in its thick fur and shiny beak as you bring this scene to life.
FUN FACT
A male platypus might use its venomous spurs to fight with other male platypuses, especially during mating season, and the venom can cause a lot of pain.
