| The platypus is a unique animal that lives in Australia. Although it lays eggs like a bird, it's a mammal. A platypus mother feeds her babies with milk from her body. The platypus spends much of its time in the water. It paddles with its front feet and steers with its back feet. The platypus scoops through the sand with its bill in search of worms and small water animals that it eats. The male platypus has sharp spurs and venom sacs on its back feet. It can scratch its enemies and poison them with its venom. |  |
