The platypus is an Australian monotreme, or egg-laying mammal, that fits this description. It is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia and Tasmania.
Platypuses live in burrows they dig in riverbanks, and hunt for their food in water. Their bills are equipped with very sensitive electro-receptors, with which they can sense the movements of tiny crustaceans and larvae on the bottom of rivers and creeks. Their fur is sleek and waterproof, but not really like that of a seal. Whilst some may say it has a unique appearance similar to that of a beaver or otter with a duck's head, it really does not look like that either. Its body and head are flat and streamlined for swimming under the water's surface. Its bill is different in shape to that of a duck, so even the term "duck-billed platypus" is a misnomer. It has webbed feet, claws and a flat tail, and lives in burrows in riverbanks.
