SYDNEY — The platypus, a species unique to Australia, was reintroduced into the country's oldest national park just south of Sydney on Friday in a landmark conservation project after disappearing from the area more than half a century ago. Known for its bill, webbed feet, and venomous spurs, the platypus is one of only two egg-laying mammals globally and spends most of its time in the water at night. Due to its reclusive nature and highly specific habitat needs, most Australians have never seen one in the wild.
