Every animal is important. The platypus is the only animal on earth that is an egg-laying mammal with a duck-like bill. It is very unique. It would be a shame to lose it. If we lost it, whatever it ate would become over populated, and its predators might starve and become under populated, knocking the food chain out of balance.
