On to its eating habits, it is a bottom feeder, isn’t that gross? Anyway they eat insects and other gross stuff found in the water with a little mud and gravel to help them chew it up. Platypuses live in rain forests in Australia and they are not easily seen by people because they do not like being around people.

    Essay On Platypus

    The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is found in Tasmania and the eastern and southeastern coast of Australia. They live in burrows that they dig on riverbanks as well as under rock ledges, roots and debris. Platypuses are nocturnal and spend most of their time hunting for food.

In 2008, The Penguins elected to not touch the trophy and lost, a year later they touch/picked it up and won Stanley Cup.
