Another four platypuses re-homed into Royal National Park

Another four platypuses re-homed into Royal National Park. There are at least 20 platypuses now living in the New South Wales Royal National Park's waterways, three years after their historic reintroduction.

I'd rather mining companies not need to be fined, but its nice to see their PR money put to use on projects like this.

The Platypus
By: Ogden Nash

I like the duck-billed platypus
Because it is anomalous.
I like the way it raises its family,
Partly birdly, partly mammaly.
I like its independent attitude.
Let no one call it a duck-billed platitude.

Little platypus PSA: Be very cautious with yabby traps, they can also catch platypus.
I know someone who pulled up a yabby trap to discover it had inadvertently drowned a couple of juvenile platypus.
No more yabby trapping in that creek.
