The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is home to two platypuses, the only platypuses outside of Australia. With a paddle-shaped tail, sleek fur, webbed feet, and a wide bill, these venomous, egg-laying mammals are truly one-of-a-kind. Though bizarre in appearance, platypuses are perfectly designed for their Australian freshwater habitats. They navigate deep, murky water and detect the miniscule movements of shellfish and insects with ease.
