As Easton explored Australia he came upon a platypus in a marshy
habitat
. The platypus had brown fur, webbed feet, a beaver tail, and a
great big bill like a duck.
“Since you are a very special animal you must be hunted. How do
you protect yourself?” asked Easton.
“I have poison in the heel of my back legs that I can sting predators
with,” responded the platypus.
