The platypus is one of 2 monotremes (egg laying mammals), both of which are found only in Australia. This unusual animal was thought to be a hoax when first reported to England because of its unusual appearance.

It brings much delight to anyone who spots one swimming in an agile manner in creeks and ponds or clambering up muddy banks. The image used for this illustration was courtesy of Nicole Anderson is fortunate to

This artwork is now available as a reproduction on a greeting card or wall art.... standard A4 or A3 is with a border but I can print borderless on request. I also sublimation print the image onto gift lines such as fridge magnets, coasters and lens cleaning cloths.
