@alegrehhernan24: I didn't know that the platypus could hold things with its tail. No wonder it's my favourite animal in Australia. #platypus #visitaustralia #tasmania #workingholiday #wanderlust

Yasmin | Camel Queen :

Australia’s equivalent of a legendary Pokémon sighting

Juliandro :

I’m 142 and still haven’t seen a platypus in real life. You’re so lucky.

Ducklord666 :

How common is it to see a Platypus in the daily life of an Australian? Is it like a squirrel or rabbit in the US or more like the chance of seeing a beaver….super low?

Nataliah Baker :

female platypuses use their tail for picking up and carrying items, specifically nesting materials like leaves and vegetation to line their burrows

lockbuste :

I don’t think anyone knew that

Cait 🍁 :

I thought it was holding a knife 🙈

liv :

she’s carrying stuff back to the den :)) what a lucky sight to see

janedozer :

idk why but I dont like them much. maybe because if their venom. freaks me out along with their goofyass bill

kt :
