Yesterday a rudder. Today, a construction tool! 🏗️ When instinct takes over, the female platypus drops everything else to focus solely on building her nesting burrow. For those few days, her tail transforms into a heavy-duty clamp, curling tightly to haul bundles of vegetation. 🌿 A truly remarkable adaptation for a mother on a mission! 🥰 | Hobart Rivulet Platypus

Tree-clearing is destroying platypus habitat, causing soil erosion, reducing water quality and food supply. Sadly, this means there are less baby platypus each year.
