What part of its body does a platypus use to find food?

The main part of the platypus's body which it uses to find food is its unique bill. The bill of a platypus has sensitive electroreceptors which pick up tiny nerve and electrical impulses generated by crustaceans and other animals that inhabit the bottom of the creek or river. The platypus then uses its bill to shovel away the dirt, and find the food. Of course, without the platypus's strong tail, which acts as a rudder, or its webbed feet, it would not be able to swim and dive in order to catch its food.
