Australian Wildlife: Amazing Platypus
This episode of the series Australian Wildlife is about the platypus. Like the echidna, the platypus is a monotreme - the only mammals whose young are hatched from eggs.
This film shows the platypus in its natural surroundings - swimming, feeding, burrowing and at play.
