answer to yesterday - baby platypus is called a PUGGLE. also pointed out by Wylie is that this is the same for echidnas. Platypus and Echidna are the only 2 monotremes in the world - the only mammals that lay eggs.
That's so cute- a "puggle"! Sounds like a character from a fairy tale. I do remember the pouch fact having learned it from you before- that's a mother's love because the joeys are not little when they're being carried that long!
Such a gorgeous word, 'puggle'. Funny that it's a Scottish word we use when feeling hot and exhausted. My mum often would say that she was 'fair puggled' when working in the kitchen in summer. I read that it's also a new word for a cross breed between a pug and a beagle!
