On wednesday we went to the platypus house. We got to see real platypus .Then we walked in a room where there were three ecidnas. They sat at our feet and sucked at bowls of slop. They had long tongues. I loved the tour.

2. Girls spurs are not poisonous.
3. They go on the land.
4. The dads can kills their children if they don't leave home at the right time.
5. When they are old enough child platypus can swim and hunt without their mothers teaching them.
6. Bubbles come out of their tails when they dive because of the layers of air in their tail.

1. Tassie ones are furrier than those found on the mainland.
2. They have long tongues.
3. They can die of shock.
4. They can lose their spikes.
5. They can eat out of cups with their long tongues.
6. People try to dig them out in their yard so most rescued echidnas have their snouts chopped off. DO NOT TRY TO DIG UP ECHIDNAS.
