Mostly, the platypus speaks for itself. But I thought it needed help in raising it’s web-foot to be recognized and called upon by WI.

Cultural references

The platypus has been featured in the Dreamtime stories of indigenous Australians, who believed the animal was a hybrid of a duck and a water rat. According to one story, all the major animal groups, the land animals, water animals and birds, all competed for the platypus to join their respective groups, but the platypus ultimately decided to not join any of them, feeling that he did not need to be part of a group to be special.
