The platypus is an aquatic mammal, one of only five mammal species which lays eggs as opposed to a live birth.[1] Its natural range is in Australia and Tasmania. It has a bill, similar in shape to a duck, which is very pliable, and also has webbed feet. Like all mammals it has fur and suckles its young.
