Explanation

The Platypus, also known as the duckbill platypus, is a unique egg-laying mammal native to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is one of only five species of monotremes (egg-laying mammals) in the world and is characterized by its duck-like bill, beaver-like tail, and webbed feet. The platypus is an iconic species found only in Australia. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because platypuses are not found in Africa, America, or Asia - they are endemic to Australia. This makes platypus one of Australia's most unique and recognizable native animals, alongside kangaroos and koalas.
