...1. Echidna 2. Platypus 3. Wallaby 4. Quoll The contemporary platypus is found in eastern Australia (including Tasmania), and is only about half the size of its ancestor, fossils of which were found at Riversleigh QLD. When European biologists first saw an example of an egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal they were so amazed that many considered it must be an elaborate hoax. Although traces of several platypus species have been found in the fossil record, there is only one living member of the platypus family. Its genus name, Ornithorhynchus, is derived from a Greek word meaning 'bird snout', and its species name, anatinus, comes from a Latin word meaning 'duck-like'.
