The Platypus lays eggs, is venomous, has a duck-bill, a beaver tail, and has webbed feet.
The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is found only in Eastern Australia and lives near rivers and lakes, where they create burrows for shelter and protection.

The Platinum Platypus bullion coin is produced from 99.95% pure platinum.
