The water ripples

Streamlined body moves around

Wonder what it is

 

A duck-like mouth and

Beaver-like tail that follows

And covered in fur

 

It is native

To this Australian soil

Yet people don’t care

 

That this animal

Platypus is endangered

Its habitat gone

 

People need to help

Let’s come together and help

Platypus survive

 

It’s one easy step

Stop people from destroying

Their beloved homes
