In our ongoing campaign to educate everyone about platypus tails: forget Perry the Platypus, they do not look like beaver tails!
Platypuses have furry prehensile tails, in other words they can grasp objects with them. This still from a reel isn’t very clear, but she is carrying twigs.
“When female platypuses are making nests, they will grab bunches of vegetation with their flat little prehensile tails and drag the foliage into their burrows.”*
Yet more platypus versatility.
Another reason they are my totem animal and symbol of Asset Management at work.
Seasons’ greetings and a very happy 2026 to all platypuses & Asset Managers
