Duck Billed Platypus


We just learned a little about Squirrels.

When scientists first discovered the platypus and tried to tell
other people about it, everyone thought they were joking!

No one thought there could really be an animal with fur and a tail like a beaver's tail,
and also a bill, webbed feet and lays eggs like a duck!

Another interesting thing about the platypus is that they have a small claw (also called a spur)
on their back foot that is poisonous!
