Description

One of the increasingly popular Did You Know? Platypus series from Young Reed, this attractive and fun book is packed with fascinating facts about the ever-popular subject of platypuses. One of the world's strangest animals, the platypus fascinates people around the world and is a key symbol of Australia.

Did You Know? Its duck-like bill is made of very sensitive skin and is able to detect insect prey underwater. Unusually for a mammal, a mum platypus lays eggs rather than giving birth to babies. The newly hatched young are called puggles. The male has a sharp claw on its back leg that can inject extremely painful venom.

Each spread covers a different aspect of platypus life, from Special adaptations and Where do Platypuses live? to What’s for dinner? and Family life. The book contains bite-sized chunks of interesting information coupled with stunning photographs, which combine to make this an engaging and entertaining introduction to the subject that’s bound to capture the imagination of any reader.
