This paints a cute picture of that platypus peeking out from under a big croc! (and maybe next he will be in that croc's belly! Do crocs eat a platypus?) Luv, Andrea

Hah! He's afraid of thunder so he finds shelter underneath a crocodile? Poor platypus doesn't have much of a life expectancy I'm afraid. Made me laugh out loud! Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
