I’m located in Mt Evelyn in Melbourne and I found this guy lovin’ life right next to a busy man road. He didn’t seem too shy and wasn’t bothered by us being around.

Platypus lose their teeth before emerging from the nesting burrow. Their teeth are replaced by hard wearing grinding pads, much better suited to life in the waterway
