Welcome to our series on the Fauna and Flora of Lake Inverell and the adjacent Macintyre River. Today's Episode 5 features the Platypus and is brought to you by Project Hometown Inverell.
In the studio our Host Heinrich Haussler speaking with Ecologist Wendy Hawes.
The podcast is about a very special creature, a creature that is
Australia’s own and unique to the rest of the world, the elusive and mysterious platypus.
The Platypus is one of the planets most evolutionarily distinct mammals, one of only five extant species of egg – laying mammals.
It is correct to say, we have an animal that lives at the Macintyre River and at Lake Inverell, that is a very strange and unique Australian animal "Our Platypus". It is the state animal of New South Wales, it appears on the bAustralian 20 cent coin and the Platypus was a much loved mascot for the 2000 Olympic games held in Sydney. It is our duty to protect the Platypus, provide a habitat and help to preserve a animal that can only be found in Australia. In order to make it possible that future Generations can enjoy to watch this creature as we do today.
