Step into the hidden rivers of Australia, where the water moves slow and secret beneath the trees. The air smells of fresh rain and wet leaves, birds call from the branches… and something small and mysterious glides just beneath the surface.

In this immersive episode of Little Listens, young explorers will follow the strangest swimmer in the world—the platypus! With the bill of a duck, the body of an otter, and the tail of a beaver, this incredible creature moves like a shadow through the water. But it doesn’t just swim—it feels the world through electric signals, sensing tiny fish and shrimp hidden in the dark. Listen as it sweeps its bill through the mud, dives deep, and waddles into its hidden burrow before slipping back into the river once more.

As night falls and the water glows golden, the platypus disappears beneath the surface, a secret of the quiet hours. Close your eyes, take one last deep breath of the cool, misty air… and listen to The Duck-Billed Platypus.

Perfect for bedtime, quiet time, or curious explorers on the go.
