Platypusary

It was Mr. Harry Burrell, of Sydney, who first designed an intricate model home for the platypus and coined for it the obviously suitable name of "Platypusary".

When building "platypusaries" in zoos and sanctuaries it is essential to ensure that man-made tunnels are tight-fitting.

There was nothing for it but to install the three duckbills in the travelling platypusary in one of the Pan American hangars and hope for the best.
