Here's something weird - a platypus-Godzilla monster thingamajig. Yeah, I know. XD

Basically, for yet another super late drawing, I drew this after I heard about the announcement of new Miocene platypus species Obdurodon tharalkooschild (the species name is after a duck named Thatalkoo in a Aboriginal story which gave birth to a duck-water rat hybrid). The thing about this species was that it is larger than any other platypus we have ever known, reaching about a metre in length (though keep in mind that it is only known from a single tooth), which prompted the nickname "platypus-zilla". I thought it was a very silly nickname, sort of like how the narrow snouted tyrannosaur Qianzhousaurus from this year got the nickname "Pinocchio Rex". So, basically this drawing is a result of what I found to be a stupid nickname for a larger than normal platypus species described as a single tooth.

...okay, I know I used to write tonnes of stuff, but I did these drawings ages ago and I barely remember the specifics of what I did.
