EVEN MORE PLATYPUS...

It was very entertaining watching these two platypus navigate the small cascade. The first and larger animal is a female (bald spot on the tail). When the two come together in the last 3 videos (sorry about that, file was too large to put up as one video here for some reason), they disappeared for about 20 minutes before coming back down.  Probably a tunnel under there where they were exploring or probably mating. The water was so clear that week we could watch them swimming underwater quite easily.
So fast I almost lost sight of her then I thought she'd disappeared under that rock...
This time I was ready for her to swim back out...
Sorry about the audible gasp and loud commentary... pretty exciting.
And they continue...
They came out around 20 mins later...
Such clear water...
