The platypus (also known as the duck-billed platypus) is a remarkable animal and one of only five known egg-laying mammals (there are four species of echidna, also from Australia).  These Australian creatures are so strange that biologists first thought they were being hoaxed when they were given a body to examine.  The bill and webbed feet are similar to ducks, the tail is similar to beavers, and their body - along with their fur - is remarkably similar to otters. 

This plush toy was designed by Hansa Creations, known for The World's Most Realistic Plush Animal Reproductions.  It is approximately 15.7" long.
