The Platypus:

A Unique Mammal
Front Cover
3 Reviews
UNSW Press, 1995 - Nature - 92 pages

It was first thought a clever hoax had been perpetrated by a skilled taxidermist stitching together the bill of a duck and other parts of unknown mammals! This book confines itself to the known facts rather than the myths and legends which surround this beautiful, secretive and shy creature.
