Is the platypus a real animal? Is it just a hoax? While these questions seem ridiculous today, they were serious points raised by the first scientists in Britain to see the skin of a platypus in 1799. They could not believe that an animal with fur could also have a beak like a duck, and lay eggs as well! Discover the platypus in this book and be just as amazed as they were.
