Platypus Whisperer from Tasmania Surprises Experts with Citizen Science

Tasmania surprises experts with his
citizen science. The man has bonded with a platypus, an animal that is known to be very elusive.
The man, Pete Walsh, comes from Hobart, the capital city of Australia's island Tasmania state. Vonna Keller, his partner, named him "platypus whisperer" due to his special relationship with a platypus, whom they called Zoom.
According to Keller, the animal silently bonded with Walsh, because whenever Walsh goes to the creek just to sit there, the animal zooms literally across from him, then climb on a rock to deliberately look at him.
The events that led to their relationship started in early 2020 during the pandemic lockdowns. Walsh is a nature lover, and he started noticing the several platypuses which inhabited Hobart Rivulet. He observed that they were starting to spend more time in the public areas.
