The Animal That Baffled Scientists

The duck-billed platypus is one of Australia's most extraordinary and unique-looking animals — and one of the most fascinating creatures on earth. Did you know the platypus is one of only two mammals in the world that lay eggs? When specimens were first sent to England in the early 19th century, biologists were so baffled by the platypus's bizarre combination of features — a duck's bill, a beaver's tail, an otter's body, and venomous spurs — that it took years for English scientists to believe the descriptions were real. They thought someone was playing a trick on them! This ornament is a tribute to one of nature's most gloriously improbable masterpieces.
