EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare moment of intimacy between a pair of Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), an intriguing and unique species endemic to the waters of eastern Australia. Taken in the late 1800s, this historical image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the early days of wildlife photography. The Platypus, often referred to as the 'duck-billed platypus,' is a monotreme, meaning it is one of only five extant species of mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. This image showcases two platypi swimming together in the crystal-clear waters of an Australian river. Their distinctive bill, a combination of both a beak and a snout, is perfectly adapted for their semi-aquatic lifestyle. They use their sensitive bill to detect prey, primarily insects and crustaceans, underwater. This photograph, taken around the year 1860, is an essential piece of Australian natural history. It not only showcases the striking appearance of these elusive creatures but also highlights the early efforts of photographers to document the natural world. The Platypus was only discovered by European scientists in 1798, and this image adds to the rich history of documenting this fascinating species. The peaceful scene of the platypi swimming together in the river is a testament to the beauty and mystery of the natural world. This photograph not only serves as a reminder of the past but also encourages us to appreciate and protect the unique wildlife that continues to inhabit our planet.
