Art of the day
Each week I will Challenge you with seven pieces of art, by the end of the week I want you to guess the artist. It will start every Sunday and I will reveal the answer and begin a new artist the same day. As the year and my blog progresses I will find harder pieces of art and more unknown artists. Have fun!

Animal of the Week
This weeks animal is the Platypus . the Platypus is the only member of the mammal family Ornithorhynchidae.
The platypus sleeps in a burrow for up to 17 hours a day. The average camping burrow is 1 - 3 meters longs with the entrance hidden underwater or just above the water level. An adult platypus uses its long claws to dig through the soft river banks. It is calculated that a platypus can dig one meter of tunnel in two hours. Grooming of the fur is very important and is done in the water as well as on the land.
The platypus is protected by law throughout Australia. Even though it is common in Australia, it is considered vulnerable due to the continuing loss of its natural habitat due to damming, drainage, and pollution.
