Otters cannot be said to look like platypuses.
- Platypuses have a bill, while otters do not.
- Platypuses have a flatter head and body shape, compared to the more rounded head and body of an otter.
- Otters can use their front paws to partially grab onto objects, and even play with them. platypuses have no such facility as their webbed feet are flatter.
- Platypuses have a long, flat, furred tail while otters have shorter, more pointed tails.
However, they both have fur and are semi-aquatic so they are constantly wet, giving them a similar body appearance.
