Don’t you know that God gets a giggle every time he looks at this little fellow? I think we was just made up out of spare parts He had lying around. He’s a little smaller than I thought, about the size of a man’s hand, and the egg’s are thumbnail size. I don’t know why I always pictured him as being the size of a badger.
Oh, and we googled him just to hear what kind of noise he makes. It sounds like a coo followed by a gargly growl to me, but I bet to girl platypi (platypods?, platypuses? platypeople?) he sounds like heaven. Go here to hear him. (scroll about halfway down the page)
