 I presented my report as a huge box Platypus here are some pics and below that there is the writing that I printed all across the Platypus (Perry) 

The Platypus is classified as a egg laying mammal, One of two the other being the echidna.

The Platypus mainly feeds on: Egg larvae, Shellfish, Insects and Worms. They scoop these from the water, stealing from the underwater buffet. They must also collect gravel to break down the food as they don't have teeth just a wide bill.

The platypus has a venomous gland in both hind legs which is 15mm long this hidden surpise, which only occurs in the males.

They are underwater angels with their webbed feet yet as soon as they arise to land they have been desribed as awkward as they waddle with their webbed feet but the reason they are mobile on land is caused but their blunt claws and these claws produce the certainty to have the ability to run.

The platypus has lungs as it is a mammal yet it can hold it's breath for 10mins sadly due to the Platypus's buoyancy he can only submerge for 2mins without coming back for up for air.

The Platypus is unique as it lays eggs yet still is included in the Mammal Group. This unusual species is unlike known mammals like a dog or a cat as they give birth to live young. The Platypus egg is a quick devoloping egg as it will hatch within 10 days of labour.

The Platypus is a unique animal that has a hidden surprise of venom. The Platypus is not to be mistaken as a cuddly family pet.

This video is a book trailer we created. A book trailer is a like a video blurb, for the particular book. It includes information about the plot, characters, and story line. This will be presented in our school library on the back of our book, so the students can watch our video to get a main idea of the book. Watch and Enjoy.
