Australia week: the Platypus

Postcard

Probably one of Australia’s most peculiar animals: the Platypus. A venomous semi-aquatic egg-laying mammal. When first discovered, the unusual look of a Platypus caused considerable confusion and doubt amongst European naturalists and scientists, many of whom believed that the animal was a fake.

 

Stamp

A prepaid postcard, with extra Platypus stamp.
