PLATYPUS (утконос)
The platypus is a strange little creature found only in Australia.
When the first platypus was sent to Europe in the 19th century, the scientists
who examined it just could not believe their eyes. They believed the platypus
was a joke, 41) ....... .They thought some fun-loving Australian had put
the feet and nose of a duck onto the body of a rat, 42)……..
But platypuses are real, 43) ............... . Platypuses
have a nose like a duck, webbed feet like a duck, soft brown fur on their body
and a long, flat tail like a beaver. As if that weren't strange enough, even
though they are mammals (which means they feed their babies milk), platypuses
don't give birth to live babies 44) ...............! No wonder
scientists couldn't decide for a very long time if platypuses were birds,
reptiles or mammals.
But the platypus has even more wonderful characteristics.
Platypuses find their food in rivers by using electric fields. And, if they are
in danger, male platypuses have sharp hooks on their feet 45) ...............
.It's no surprise then, that this special, shy little animal is one of
Australia's most famous creatures. A picture of the platypus appears on the
Australian 20 cent coin. Australians are very proud of their unique platypus.
