If you capture and keep a platypus, which is highly endangered, you'll go to gaol. Likewise rock wallabies, koalas, quokkas, most nocturnal marsupials, bilbies and mallee fowl.

Its extremely illegal here. Some serious fines and even custodial sentences for capturing and confining native animals.Quote from: "Bricktop"

So, that was a zoo or a wildlife sanctuary?

That one is very comfortable with humans.
But you must never try to handle them in the wild.

The chances of me ever seeing a playpus in the wilds of Southern Ontario are pretty remote.
Rare enough here in Oz.

Mostly along the Eastern coast. There's heaps of them near me in a creek. They are acrobat like swimmers, move fast, and can be hard to spot unless they don't care if they're seen.Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"
That's the first video I've seen of one in captivity..
They are a little bit like a small beaver or even an otter.
Duck's bill, and webbed feet.
Mammals physiology.
Egg layer.
Venomous glands.
