An unusual Platypus, Taronga Zoo, Sydney

Platypus carved out of sandstone rock, Taronga Zoo, Sydney

I took this photo of a large platypus carved out of a sandstone boulder in the grounds of Taronga Zoo in Sydney. This unusual piece of sculpture is huge, measuring about 3 metres wide by 2 metres high.

It is only one of many pieces of art work scattered around the zoo, all with and animal theme.
