One of Nature’s Wonders

Meet a puggle. 

small, grey animal with a long face, a tiny bill like a duck, a pudgy body and long nails on four pawsHave you ever heard of this mammal? It lays eggs and it’s native to Australia and New Guinea.

This little guy is named Beau and he’s 40 days old.  He was found, motherless, in an RV park. He actually has little holes in the top of his bill-like snout and he snuffs up milk like a vacuum from the palm of a wildlife expert’s hand. Eventually he’ll grow quills and not be as adorable.  But for now the little puggle is quite a marvel.

  1. I’ve never even heard of these… I was expecting to see the dog cross-breed behind the cut.

    The Wikipedia description of this creature is quite interesting.
