'Editorial use only'  Platypus researchers Joshua Griffiths and Farley Connelly (both from platypusSPOT) take bbody measurements and DNA samples from a platypus (Ornithorynchus anatinus). It was captured as part of a Melbourne Water study to monitor the local population. After DNA and body measurements are taken and it is checked for a microchip, it is then returned within 30 minutes of capture. Such data is used to help compare morphological and genetic differences that may exist between populations.  Warburton, Victoria, Australia.  October, 2018.  Model releases supplied.
