The platypus has a tail similar to a beaver's because both serve important functions in their respective environments. The platypus's flat, paddle-like tail aids in swimming and helps store fat, crucial for energy reserves during periods when food is scarce. This adaptation is beneficial for its semi-aquatic lifestyle, allowing it to thrive in freshwater habitats while foraging for food. Although they have similar tail shapes, the platypus and beaver are not closely related and have evolved these features independently through convergent evolution.
