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.

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.
