So yeah, the first one that ever went back to Europe, they were like, this can't be real.
This is a duck and a beaver stitched together.
So they had it under a microscope.
They were looking for the stitching, where the bill attached.
Yeah.
It's not been long.
People still don't really believe that this animal exists, I think.
Sometimes when I put stuff on social media and it goes viral internationally, it's like people from other parts of the world are still like, wait, these things are real?
This animal actually exists?
So yeah, I think maybe
still a lot of people around the world don't actually know about platypus, to be honest.
Yeah, so the platypus is considered a totem animal for some Indigenous Aboriginal cultures here in Australia.
So, you know, it holds deep cultural significance to those groups.
And it does feature in some creation stories and the spiritual traditions associated with the animal.
There's some evidence in
Certain areas that perhaps platypus were eaten by Indigenous people, but then for other areas, you know, it was considered too sacred to be hunted or eaten.
So, yeah, it definitely depends on where in Australia.
Obviously, the platypus is specific to the East Coast, so it definitely has stronger ties to certain Indigenous peoples throughout that area.
My answer is going to be no.
Okay.
