Cool/Obscure/All Animals ATC - 3 Platypus

Hello all,

There are so many cool, weird, unique animals out there that just don't get enough attention :D

This will be a series of animals of all kind, rare preferred. I just start with some and if you would like your weird animal to be part of this, just message me :) I can put a few "normal" ones in, but if so, please specify then. For example not "cat" but "Abyssinian Cat". I would like to try to specify them as much as possible, so there is a long list to follow :3

Not sure how many animals there will be. I will keep this swaps as I think people are interested in it.

3rd swap: Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus)

Wikipedia: "The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semiaquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth. It is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record."

But please don't just print a picture and slap it on a card...maybe you try to paint or draw, or make some bad ass collage? Maybe put it in its natural habitat or make it a funny picture expresing the animal's traits?

Rules:

Standard ATC size: 2.5''x3.5''. Preferred in a plastic sleeve to protect it in mailing. Please use a sturdy background. (I use 1mm thick bristol board, but any thick paper will do)

Please include on the back: name, swap name, title, date. Optional: alternative contact information, country, media used, etc. (I have made me a print template that I just cut and add the missing info, saves time. I can just recommend this :) )

Due to some swappers flaking on other series I am hosting, I do not allow these specific swappers to join any of my swaps, unless they have contacted me and the person they flaked on in advance and have worked thigns out. I will not message you, I expect you to take initiative. Please don't be upset about this rule, but I don't want this to happen again. I keep a list of "my-swap-flakers" on my profile.

Of course if some new flakers appear, I will angel, but I really hope we are adult enough to send our ATCs out.

To prepare, I will tell you the next swap's theme :) yay I have had some animal wishes, quite some to be precise. I will just pick them randomly (some of them I don't know either, this shall be fun)
