    Effect Cause

    Living things in Australia are unusual.

    George Shaw was the first scientist to


    examine and write about the platypus.

    George Shaw wondered if the animal was


    a hoax. He had good reason to worry.

    Settlers had a hard time finding these


    animals (platypus).

    In 1884, British scientist William Hay


    Caldwell came to Australia.

    In 1835, the new class of mammal named


    “monotreme” was created.

    The echidna is also called a spiny


    anteater.

    The platypus crushes and grinds its’ food


    on the pads in its’ bill.
