About Platypus
The platypus is found 'down under' in Australia and Tasmania. It is one of the five species of montremes, mammals who lay eggs. Platypuses eat meat and are an endangered species.
About Milk
Milk is a white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. It is produced to provide food for the young before they are able to digest other foods. Milk also serves as a way for the mother to pass on immunities and antibodies to her young. What milk actually contains depends on the animal it comes from, but most milk contains protein, saturated fats, vitamin C and calcium. In most western societies, cow's milk is the most prevalent.
