Platypus matters : the extraordinary story of Australian mammals
Ashby, Jack2023
Books
Think of a platypus: they lay eggs, produce milk without nipples and venom without fangs and can detect electricity. Or a wombat: their teeth never stop growing, they poo cubes and they defend themselves with reinforced rears. Australia has some truly astonishing mammals, with incredible, unfamiliar fetaures. But the perception of these animals as 'primitive', which stems from the country's colonial history, has undermined their conservation and this must be remedied if they are to survive.
