With its flat tail and duck-like bill, the furry platypus is a fascinating creature. This zoology title, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, describes platypuses' habitat in eastern Australia and Tasmania. It explores their diet, excellent swimming abilities, and use of sensors in their bill to navigate underwater. The text explains their reproductive habits and highlights unique traits such as fur that glows under ultraviolet light and venomous spurs. A cultural story about the platypus's uniqueness is included. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, this book supports elementary-aged readers with captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index.
