Their back legs are more powerful than their front legs. Baby platypuses are born without hair, with small legs and closed eyes, and stay in their mother's burrow for the first six weeks. The platypus lives in underground burrows near water, and eats small fish, worms and bugs both in and out of water. Their webbed feet help them swim fast, and their thick fur allows them to swim underwater. The platypus is found in Australia.
