The platypus is a unique, egg-laying mammal native to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It has a distinctive appearance with a duck-like bill, webbed feet, and a beaver-like tail. The platypus is a semi-aquatic animal, spending much of its time in freshwater rivers and lakes, where it hunts for prey such as insects, larvae, and small crustaceans. The male platypus has a venomous spur on its hind legs, capable of delivering a painful sting to predators or rivals.nnAlso available:nnReplica Platypus SkeletonnnReplica Platypus Egg (19 mm)nnSpecifications:nn1:1 scalenPolyurethane resin castn1-part skull (jaw glued to cranium)nnSkull Length 10.7 cm (4.2 in.)nnSkull Width 4.5 cm (1.8 in.)nSkull Height 3.8 cm (1.5 in.)nnOrigin: AustraliannProduct of Bone Clones
