Platypus news..................... with pictures and a little video
Platypus population in Australia's oldest national park increases to at least 20
In short:
Another four adult platypuses have been released into the waterways of the Royal National Park.
This latest stage of the historic translocation project brings the park's platypus population to 20, more than 50 years since the animal disappeared from the area following an oil spill.
What's next?
A final three platypuses are due to be re-homed into the Hacking River next year.
