Introduction
  • Did you ever know that platypuses are the
    only mammal to lay eggs. You are going to learn
    about this amazing platypus. So then we should go
    explore about platypuses like there adaption,
    where it lives and what it eats.

What does it eat
  • First, well see what the platypus eats. They
    find their food mostly in water. Also platypuses
    use their bills to eat. Their bills are their
    mouths. Have you ever known that insects and
    larva pretty much make up their diet? Small
    snails and worms make up a healthy meal as well.
    Did you know the weird thing that they eat? They
    can devour 200 meal worms and 2 small frogs up to
    a day. So that is pretty much all about there
    food so lets keep on exploring.

Habitat
  • Next, we are going to talk about their
    habitat. Most live in burrows near lake shores.
    The burrows are about 15 to 60 feet long. Usually
    wild platypuses live in the eastern. Thats all
    about their habitats.

5
Adaptations
  • Last but not least, we will discover their
    adaptations. Did you know that they paddle like
    beavers? They also spend most of their time in
    the water. They have folded black webbed skin
    that help them walk and dig on land. Adaptations
    are cool well thats what I think. Thats all I
    have for adaptations but lets keep on going.

Conclusion
  • At last, I hope you liked learning about this
    amazing animal. Maybe you can write a report
    about an animal because theyre really fun to
    write about.
