Young fans of animal stories will love these free printable platypus coloring pages. One such story is the story of a water rat named Bilargun and a duck by the name Daroo.

Once when Bilargun was hunting he came across Daroo the duck and decided to make her his wife. He then took her with him back to his hole in the bank.


He brought food for her every day and they were living happily. He also told Daroo to hit her tail on the water as a signal whenever she was in danger.

The story progresses as Daroo gives birth to babies who had webbed feet like that of the duck and the fur coat and flat tail of the water rat. And nowadays the ancestors of those babies can be seen, which use the same warning signal and are now known as platypuses.

This story is a great way to explain to kids the origin of platypuses. These helpful sheets can also be used to help kids with their coloring skills.
