Trivia

 * He does not have any venomous spurs on his feet. This is probably because he was designed without spurs to make it suitable for younger viewers. In real-life, a platypus has venomous spurs.


 * Despite standing on 2 legs (which is mostly anthropomorphic), a platypus in real life is quadrupedal (standing on 4 legs). However, he is sometimes seen walking on 4 legs.


 * On the online game found on the website of Millimages, it is revealed that he eats algae. In real life, a platypus is actually a carnivore.
