The snout of the platypus and the echidna are not similar at all. The platypus has a broad, flat bill which is equipped with sensitive electroreceptors which enable it to detect electrical impulses given out by tiny invertebrates underwater. The echidna has a long, pointed snout which it will push into termite mounds to get to termites, but it has no electroreceptors.
