Playful Platypus in Gentle River Currents
Beneath a sunny sky, a curious platypus glides through the rippling waters, searching for tiny treats along the riverbed. Swirling currents and smooth river rocks make every swim an exciting journey for this mysterious animal. Imagine the cool water, soft plants, and shiny stones hidden along the riverbank. As you color, think about the secret life of a platypus and how it explores the waterways with its flippered feet and beaver-like tail.
FUN FACT
Male platypuses have a sharp, venomous spur on each hind ankle, hidden under the fur.

COLORING TIPS
Use a blend of cool and warm tones to distinguish the platypus from the background. Experiment with light blues and greens for the water, and add gradients for a glass-like shine. Try layering colored pencils or markers to achieve vibrant, stained-glass effects. Don't be afraid to use surprising colors for the river tiles—let creativity lead the way!
