History,
The platypus is called a living fossil due to the fact that the animal has not evolved in the last 15 million years. The platypus was discovered back in 1799 by the British scientist Dr. George Shaw. His first thought was that it was a joke this could not be a living mammal. He thought that the beak was sewed onto the body, he tried to release the stabbing with a pair of scissors. He called it Platypus anatinus which means ‘’flat foot duck-like’’ a group of beetles already had the name platypus. Because of this we gave the platypus the official name Ornithorhynchus anatinus which means ‘’bird-like snout’’. Nowadays we call them platypus again and everyone accepted that. The aboriginals thought that the platypus came from a female duck who mated with a lonely rat. This explains where the flat feet end the snout comes from, from the duck. And the beautiful brown skin comes from the rat.
