  • "The platypus has webbed feet like a frog, a bill like a duck and venom like a snake but strangest of all, it lays eggs like a bird. So much of its life is spent underground, that the platypus is still largely unknown - an irresistible challenge to filmmaker, David Parer. Using new technology, David and researchers, Nina Koch and Markus Utesch, reveal new aspects of the life of Shy - a female platypus - as she goes about her daily life and raises her young. Travel underwater with Shy in the wild rivers of Tasmania and see her feed. Spy on her two tiny week-old babies in their underground breeding chamber. See them interact with her and grow towards adulthood. And marvel at her son, Bigfoot, as he ventures out into the waters of the South Esk River for the very first time. This insightful documentary takes David down the east coast of Australia to many of the beautiful platypus habitats. Using technology specially designed for this film, images from inside the nesting chamber of a wild platypus are captured, revealing rare glimpses of how platypus breed and raise their young, including footage not seen before of mother and babies interacting. $♭."@en
  • "On the slopes of the Great dividing Range, Tom Grant and Peter Temple-Smith are embarking on a first-ever study of the life of a mother and baby platypus inside a nesting burrow. They'll use state-of-the-art technology. At Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary we'll follow Les Fisk on his life long mission to breed platypus in captivity. And on Kangaroo Island, Peggy Rismiller's decade long study of the echidna, a close relative of the platypus, will run as a parallel story."@en
  • "The platypus has both baffled and inspired the scientific community since its discovery by Europeans over 200 years ago. Three years in the making, this blue-chip natural history film takes us down the east coast of Australia to the many serenely beautiful habitats of the platypus. Technology specially created for this film captures images from inside the nesting chamber of a wild platypus and records the extraordinary sounds of the mother suckling her offspring and we watch as they grow from newborns to adulthood."@en
