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. Additionally, both animals have specialized limbs: the kangaroo has powerful hind legs for jumping, and the platypus has webbed feet for swimming. Despite their differences in lifestyle and reproduction, they highlight the incredible diversity of Australian wildlife.
