Using my handy search program, WEBFERRET, I quickly found this page
devoted to platypi:
http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~jimcclur/hobbies/platypus/

There is a small photo of a platypus swimming at:
http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~jimcclur/hobbies/platypus/platy1.gif

And I know that my sister thought that this cat by Felix Lee looked like
a platypus when she first saw it.

    /, .-'`'    -.  ;-;;,_
   |,4-  ) )-,_. ,\ (  `'-'
  '-~~''(_/--'  `-'\_)  fL

So I altered it, and with profuse apologies to Felix for ruining his
beautiful sleeping cat, present it here again (I seem to recall having
this discussion last year):

And my webferret is looking for a picture of a lemur. Ah good, here's
one with an explanation at:
