Platypus on Short Stake Australian Made Metal Art

Bring Aussie Wonder to Your Garden with Our Metal Platypus Silhouette

There is truly no creature on earth quite like the platypus. A fascinating mix of a duck's bill, a beaver's tail, and an otter's feet, this elusive animal perfectly represents the quirky, one-of-a-kind nature of Australian wildlife. As one of the only mammals in the world that lays eggs (a monotreme), the platypus holds a special, mysterious appeal. Spotting one in the wild is a rare and magical experience, but now you can bring that same unique charm directly to your own backyard, pond, or garden bed.

Fun Fact: Did you know that when a platypus dives underwater to hunt, it closes its eyes, ears, and nose completely? Instead of sight or smell, it uses extraordinary electroreceptors in its bill to detect the tiny electrical impulses made by the muscles of its prey hidden deep in the mud!

Your Unique Finish

Because we use genuine weathering steel, the organic rusting process means the artwork you receive will be completely unique to you. Your platypus will arrive in a random stage of its natural patina process—it may arrive freshly cut in raw, silver steel, it might be right in the middle of its rustic transformation, or it may already boast a rich, all-over rust patina. Left to the elements, it will continue to develop a beautiful, protective rusted finish over time.
