		The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a small, semi-aquatic mammal endemic to the eastern part of Australia, and one of the four extant monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young (the other three are echidnas).
		It is the sole representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of fossilised relatives have been found, some of them also in the Ornithorhynchus genus.
		The scientific name Ornithorhynchus literally means 'bird nose' in Greek, and anatinus means 'duck'.

		Native only to Tasmania and eastern and southern Australia, the platypus is the sole member of the mammal family Ornithorhynchidae.
		The first occurrence in the fossil record of a platypus-like monotreme is from about 110 million years ago (the early Cretaceous Period), when Australia was still connected to South America by Antarctica.
		Platypuses are generally solitary, spending their lives either feeding along the bottoms of rivers, streams, and lakes or resting in burrows dug into the banks.
