Watch a platypus up close at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, Australia.
In this video, Justin Vacula films one of Australiaβs animals as it swims through a dimly lit indoor enclosure, offering rare close-up views near the glass. Justin points out details of the platypus, including its distinctive bill, wet fur, feet, and a brief glimpse of its underside while it circles through the water.
He also shows parts of the rocky enclosure and habitat, noting how challenging it is to film indoors in low light. This stop at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was part of a fun visit filled with amazing Australian wildlife.
If you enjoy travel, wildlife, zoos, sanctuaries, and unique animal encounters, be sure to follow along for more videos from Australia and beyond on the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast.
