A duck-billed platypus photo! I was so excited to take this photo and share it here today. Platypus are egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal (according to Wikipedia).

When I was a child, I thought they were a made up animal from a song.
Neat! I’ve never seen one!

Aww maannnn I’ve never seen one in real life, not even at like a Zoo..looks cute!
Megan Cronin recently posted..Wordless Wednesday "Teeny Toad" with LINKY!
I have never seen one in a zoo. And I was quite surprised we actually got to spot one in the wild.
Good job having enough patience to get the shot. Cool looking creature!
I generally have the patience for photos, it’s the kids that loose it and then if they get noisy, the shot will be gone.
awesome! a real live platypus!

Thanks. The secret is to ask other photographers where to go, hike quietly, and wait patiently. And yes, I think luck does play into it.
So cool to see a real platypus! My kids only know Perry the Platypus from Phinneus and Ferb LOL
Thanks for sharing! Happy Wordless Wednesday!

My daughter loves Phinneus and Ferb. I have never seen it, so I didn’t even know there was a platypus.
Always wanted to see a platypus. What an awesome opportunity! and a great shot
Are you in Australia? I think that is the only place you will find one. It was pretty cool.
Wonderful shot! Glad you waited for it! Happy WW!
Stacey at RealWorldMom recently posted..Wordless Wednesday- Just Beachy
Me too. I was quite glad I waited. The girls were getting a bit bored, but even they thought it was worth it once they saw him.
It had to be neat to see one live! You are always on a fascinating adventure
