Occurred on October 13, 2013 Healesville, Victoria, Australiabr br Info from Licensor: "We had a rare chance to visit a friendly platypus who enjoyed the company of humans. Only male platypuses have venomous spurs: this one was a female. Petting this friendly platypus is a unique sensation: her fur was soft and her beak was rubbery. She was so excited to be around us, to be tickled, scratched, and to eat from our hands.
