What is brown, has a duck bill and swims in lakes? You got it; it is a duck billed platypus. Look how funny it looks:
If you believe me, this is the only mammal in the world that does lay eggs! Wow! The scientific name given to this mysterious animal is very hard to spell and say. It is named Ornithorynchus anatinus. This animal lives in the lakes of eastern Australia. It has a huge bill just like ducks and that is where it got its name from. It has a creamy brown skin, and a furry white tummy underneath. It has a weird kind of legs, which help it swim faster than any mammal under the water. Cool, eh? I would love to be the fastest animal underwater.
Even though this animal looks weird, I think we should all respect a duck billed platypus and its characteristics. Would you like it if people were throwing stones at you and calling you funny names?
Moral: If you want to say something bad, or to hurt someone’s feelings think twice, would you earn something from that?
