Both the platypus and kangaroo are unique to Australia and exhibit interesting adaptations to their environments. They are mammals, meaning they share characteristics like being warm-blooded and having fur, with the kangaroo being a marsupial that carries its young in a pouch, while the platypus is one of the few monotremes that lay eggs.
