My wife was kayaking in a river near her parents house in Tasmania and was doing some "surfing" on the spot, pointing upstream in some mild rapids. I was standing on the banks and she suddenly started calling out to me. I couldn't hear her over the water, but next to her I saw something brown in the water. When she got back to shore she told me it was a Platypus surfing next to her! Your look of excitement reminds me of how she looked.

8:43 we were joking about the zoo keeper at San Diego zoo. Slowly and gently picking up the platypus. Then cradling it like a baby and asking who wants to get stung first and then I yell with adrenaline. Me me me! Sounding all excited but in reality it's just my curiosity. Then I close my eyes cause I really am nervous but then again I've been curious for long enough. Then I poke it's spur and then I regret it. I need some motivation. Like cameras. Then yeah I sure as heck do it.

[@owainparry1262]

Very jealous of you - every time we were near inland water in Australia while on holiday I was desperately peering hoping to see one! I did see an echidna which was really cool and a lot else besides. It was summer so on reflection I think my chances were pretty slim I take it no zoo or sanctuary would ever give you permission to be stung by one?

[@JacksWorldofWildlife]

Haha yeah unlikely I’ll ever be able to test the sting. We were lucky with some heavy rain coming down the day before and cooling off a summer day enough for us to encounter this beauty!

[@DaveTexas]

That’s so cool! Finding a platypus in the wild is definitely not something you see every day. On my first trip to Australia, we’d see little plush versions of Australia’s famous animals. Kangaroos, koalas, dingoes, platypuses, and one spiny little creature I couldn’t identify. Finally, we asked a store clerk what the porcupine-looking animal was. He said the name, but his heavy Australian accent made it difficult to understand what he was saying. After repeating it a couple of times, he said it slowly to us. "Ehhhh…keeeed….nuhhh." We still didn’t know what that was. Finally, we found a children’s book on Australian wildlife and we learned all about echidnas. (This was before smartphones, so we couldn’t look them up that way.) I’ve always been fascinated by the platypus, but the echidna became my favorite animal on that trip.

[@JacksWorldofWildlife]

Don’t tell the platypus but I think echidnas might be my favorite too 👀

I believe that's true regarding the venom. However, if I remember correctly, the actual sting is relatively painless, and you wouldn't really know you've been stung. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't it also nicknamed the cigarette snail?

Yes. They are. When I was younger they were the main reason I wanted to go to Australia. I used to call an Aussie each evening and he used to send stuffed toy platypuses. In these cool live animal boxes. With breathing holes and a pine green sticker on the top. That said live animal and when I opened it. There was always a cute little platypus stuffed animal in there. The zoo keeper's name even had to do with a platypus. It was Bill Webfoot and he worked at the Brisbane zoo. I wonder where he works now? I wonder if he remembers me? Cause maybe I could call him back. Just to check in and of course ask him if he's ever heard of you Jack. If not I'll recommend you to him. Just my normal habit Jack. It's what I like to do.
