The ancient time of the creation of all things by sacred ancestors whose spirits continue into our day is called dreamtime for Indigenous Aboriginal cultures. They have a dreamtime story about platypus. It begins with a young duck who disregarded her tribe’s warning of Mulloka the water devil. She travelled down a creek far from her tribe was taken by a large water rat called Biggoon. She eventually escaped and returned to her family where she laid two eggs that hatched as platypuses. They had soft fur instead of feathers, four webbed feet instead of two and spurs on their hind legs, like Biggoon’s spear. Master carver Loren Tsalabutie's gorgeous upright platypus has been carved from a great serpentine specimen and inlaid with turquoise eyes, webbed feet and an awesome bill. About 2 3/8" tall, 2" wide and 2" deep.
