THE PLATYPUS (ORNITHORHYNCHUS ANATINUS), IS NATIVE TO AUSTRALIA, AND IS AN EGG LAYING SEMI-AQUATIC MAMMAL. THIS BIZARRE AND UNUSUAL LOOKING CREATURE, WITH ITS FUR COAT AND DUCK-LIKE BILL, BEAVER-LIKE TAIL AND OTTER-LIKE FEET, IS A STRANGE SIGHT TO BEHOLD. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW VENOMOUS MAMMALS IN EXISTENCE, AND WAS ONCE HUNTED FOR ITS FUR, THOUGH IT IS NOW PROTECTED. THE PLATYPUS IS AN ENDURING ICON OF AUSTRALIA AND IS THE ANIMAL EMBLEM FOR THE PROVINCE OF NEW SOUTH WALES.
