👀 See what the platypus has to say…

It’s National Threatened Species Day and although the platypus is officially listed as Near Threatened, its numbers are declining due to habitat loss and waterway degradation. Today, the platypus stands as a reminder of the iconic wildlife we risk losing and why protecting them matters.
