Our Stuffed Platypus

We love this plush stuffed platypus! Look at its amazing toes. They're well-defined, yet soft. All four feet are wide and webbed. The feet are made of plush fabric and the claws won't scratch. The 18-inch length includes the tail. Our platypus is solid, substantial, and fun to hold. As you would imagine, his brown fur is soft and cuddly.

About Platypuses

The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal found in Australia. Related to the echidna, it is the only mammal which lays eggs. It has duck's bill, a bever's tail and an otter's foot. On the hind legs there are spurs which can give aterrific venomous bite. Platypus , which means "flat foot" is protected from hunting and is a national symbol of Australia. It is covered with thick brown fur. The platypus feeds by sensing the muscle contractions of its prey, namely worms and crayfish. It can also walk on land and lives in burrows when the water level is low, where its is vulnerable to foxes.

Stuffed plush platypus

While we're talking about platypuses (see previous post), we might as well mention our very popular stuffed platypus. We were out of stock for awhile, but we have them back in the store and ready to ship - there is still time to order for Christmas!

Both of our PLASTIC PLATYPUS(ES) are back in stock!

We have three different plastic platypuses in our online store, and two have been out of stock for a few weeks. Today BOTH are again available and ready to ship! As of today, there is still time to receive them when shipped inside the U.S., and there may be time to receive them overseas, depending on the shipping method.

Whether you like the top platypus, or the one in the bottom picture, come on over and look at them both. In addition, we have one that's gray plastic and a bit larger. Or, if you're looking for a stuffed plush platypus, we have that, too!

Platypus drinking cup for children

What fun! The tail of this platypus forms the handle on this delightful, blue, kids' drinking cup. It is great for birthday parties, for holding crayons, or for orange juice and milk in the morning. You will find our entire inventory of cups on our page of Animal Drinking Cups. Mix and match animals and cup colors to create your own unique set! Check out our terrific selection of platypus toys and gifts.

These cups are safe and have been tested for plastic and paint safety. They have been imported into the U.S. for years by one of the nation's top wholesalers of animal-themed toys and gifts.

Platypus drinking cup for children

Delight any child, and especially children who love platypuses or Australian animals with this plastic cup featuring a dick-billed platypus with a tail for the cup's handle. It's quite cute and also quite safe. THESE ARE NOT "SIPPY CUPS"! Our animal cups are an excellent alternative to sippy cups. Doctors, dentists, pediatricians, parents, grandparents, and other care-givers are moving away from sippy cups due to the discovery that cavities in young children may be exacerbated by the shape of the sippy cup. Our animal cups have the regular rim of a plastic mug, but are made in small sizes for children. Each cup is 3 inches tall, 2 5/8 inches in diameter, and holds 7 1/2 oz. of liquid when filled. They are dishwasher safe and very durable. The manufacturer's test results showed that the plastic is NOT TOXIC for small children. Also, in regards to another question, the Safety Department at K&M International (the importer) tells us, "They have been tested and do not contain Bisphenol A." (Bisphenol A is a chemical sometimes found in clear, flexible plastics.)

Now that we've told you what they don't have, they do have eye-catching appeal for kids. Your child or grandchild can grasp the tail of the platypus, which is moulded in bas relief on the cup and presented in simple but charming style. The cups are very sturdy and durable, the colors are eye-catching for kids, and the platypus has a number of friends on our plastic animal drinking cup page.
