EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by FLPA/Bernd Rohrschneider, we find ourselves in the enchanting waters of Leven River, near Loongana, Tasmania. And who might be gracing us with its presence? None other than the fascinating Ornithorhynchus anatinus - the Platypus! This adult platypus is having a splashing good time as it gracefully glides across the river's surface. With its sleek body and webbed feet, it effortlessly navigates through the crystal-clear water. Its duck-billed face peeks out from beneath ripples, seemingly smiling at our admiration. Native to Australia and endemic to Tasmania, this semi-aquatic mammal is truly one-of-a-kind. Known for its peculiar appearance and remarkable abilities, the platypus never fails to captivate nature enthusiasts worldwide. As summer embraces this Australasian island paradise, our playful platypus takes full advantage of these refreshing waters. With each stroke of its paddle-like limbs, it leaves behind tiny trails that shimmer under the warm sun. The monotreme marvels at us from afar; after all, humans are not often lucky enough to witness such magical creatures in their natural habitat. So let's cherish this moment frozen in time - a testament to Australia's extraordinary wildlife diversity. So dive into your imagination and join us on this whimsical journey alongside our charming friend
