Platypus House offers up close and personal interactions with two of Australia’s most unique and delightful mammals: the Tasmanian Platypus and Australian short-beaked Echidna.
These fascinating creatures are unlike any other mammals on earth, and are part of the mammalian Order, Monotremes, also known as the egg-laying mammals.
