Australasian platypus (SciiFii)

The Australasian platypus (Neosteropodon asiaticus) is a species of platypus that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across Indonesia and New Guinea to help boost biodiversity. The Australasian platypus is a small mammal that can usually grow to be about 50 centimetres (20 inches) long, including the tail. Unlike most platypuses, the Australasian platypus is almost completely terretsrial and partially arboreal, due to being adapted to living on land and burrow through the soil, using sharp claws for digging, as well as for climbing trees, and using its bill for catching worms, insects, spiders, and isopods, although it can occasionally also eat eggs of other animals to supplement its diet. The Australasian platypus is a solitary animal in most of its life except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the Australasian platypus is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the Australasian platypus' wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
