Overview

The animal behind the card

In streams and rivers of eastern Australia, it hunts with eyes and ears closed underwater, relying on electroreception in the bill to detect the tiny electrical signals of prey. This lets it find insect larvae, worms, and crustaceans even in murky water.

Males also carry a venomous spur on the hind leg, a rare mammalian trait used mainly in conflicts during breeding season. The platypus is a powerful reminder that evolution can produce lineages that look improbable but function with remarkable precision.
