The animal explored in this episode is so unusual that when it was first discovered by European explorers, they had a hard time convincing scientists it was real! We’re talking about the one and only platypus. Hosts Rick and Ebone reveal some cool facts about this egg-laying mammal and detail the journey on how the San Diego Zoo became the only zoo outside Australia to house platypuses. Luis Ochoa, a Lead Wildlife Care Specialist, joins the show to discuss what makes this species so unique and what goes into caring for them.
