A Platypus!

I got to see a platypus at the aquarium today.  They are a lot smaller than I realized!  Check out the website below to learn more about these unique animals!

She's so tiny.  You can barely see her!

  3. Hi Mrs. Viera, Emily Johnson just did a current event on the fossil of an ancient platypus "Giant Platypus Fossil Found In Australia Suggests Animal Twice The Size Of Modern Species".

  4. I sent you a reply via my phone but it kicked it back. I hope you get this. Yes, I guess the platypuses lived during dinosuar time and they found a fossil in South America. Pretty amazing!
