Platypus in toxic brine
Platypus vanish from river where Charles Darwin pondered evolution

"If there's a polluted waterway and it doesn't have yabbies and mayflies and dragonflies … you've lost the food source of the platypus. There are no platypus in that section of the Cox's now because it is heavily polluted with salt and other metal pollutants."

Another photo of the platypus. This one shows the layer of air between its fur/skin and the water, keeping it warm, dry and bouyant.

We have a little resident platypus living in our creek.😍 This week, we've seen it twice during the day and captured it on trailcam every night.

"Opalios splendens sits on a place in the evolutionary tree prior to the evolution of the common ancestor of the #monotremes we have today. Its overall anatomy is probably quite like the #platypus, but with features of the jaw and snout a bit more like an echidna – you might call it an ‘echidnapus’,” Professor Helgen said."
