The Platypus uses its tail for storage of fat reserves. It has webbed feet and a large, rubbery snout these are features that appear closer to those of a duck than to those of any known mammal. The snout of the Platypus is a sensory organ with mouth the on the underside. The nostrils are located on the dorsal surface of the snout, while the eyes and ears are located in a groove set just back from it; this groove is closed when swimming. Platypuses have been heard to emit a low growl when disturbed and a range of other vocalisations have been reported in captive specimens.  From Mr. Wei
