I was like “maybe they couldn’t find any platypus footage so they just thought a backwards beaver would do..?” 😂

Walk one way, it's Canada. Walk the other way, it's Australia. I think that critter has stumbled onto something much bigger than being either a platypus or a beaver.

This comment is way underrated! Excellent observation!

if you flip it both upside-down and front-to-back, then it hasn't flipped over-all and it remains a valid animal

[@daveaster1961]

You are onto something here I have heard that we Austrlians are a bit backwards and even more the ones from Tasmania. Is it on to or onto?

[@ChipArgyle]

@@daveaster1961 Good question. If you type 'stumbled onto' into Google, it comes up with suggestions. If you type 'stumbled on to' into Google, it removes the space and shows options for 'stumbled onto'. Figured as much. Cheers!

[@daveaster1961]

Mine should be on to
