'There are many queer creatures in the world - such as dromedaries, politicians, and gnats - but the platypus, perhaps, is the queerest of them all' (p.66). Thus begins a biological and linguistic explanation of the platypus. A short retelling of an indigenous story about the platypus is included, prefaced by a distressing comment about 'our somewhat slow-witted aboriginals' (p.67).
