The platypus is an Australian mammal that does not fall neatly into a classification. It is one of only two mammals (the other being the echidna) that bear young by laying eggs. In some respects, the platypus resembles a duck; both have webbed feet and bills. The platypus has a tail like a beaver’s and a furry body similar to an otter’s. Its unusual hybrid of body parts makes it well-suited for its largely aquatic life. The platypus uses its webbed feet to paddle through water, and its tail serves as a kind of rudder for steering. While underwater, the platypus uses its bill to scoop up bits of food, such as insects and shellfish, from the water’s bottom. The platypus also scoops up bits of gravel, which grind up the food, as the platypus is toothless. The platypus stores the food and gravel in its cheeks until it reaches the water’s surface. Once the platypus surfaces, it consumes its meal.

A bar graph is drawn with an x-axis ranging from 0 to 10 in one-unit increments. The y-axis has one increment labeled as 0.1. The outline of a column is drawn on the bar graph from 0 to 5 on the x-axis with a height of 0.1. A solid column is drawn from 5 to 10 with a height of 0.1. The x-axis extends a short distance leftward and is labeled with a second 0. A vertical line extends upward and passes through the y-axis value of 0.1.

A bar graph with five columns is drawn. The x-axis has values labeled from 6 to 10 in increments of 1. The y-axis has values from 0 to 12 in increments of 2. The data reads as follows: column 6 has a height of 2; column 7 has a height of 8; column 8 has a height of 6; column 9 has a height of 2; column 10 has a height of 2.

While the invention of the steamboat is often attributed to American inventor Robert Fulton, credit should really go to John Fitch. Fitch built four steamboats in the late eighteenth century. These boats traveled successfully on lakes and rivers and proved that steam could be used to propel boats. Fitch’s boats included more traditional elements as well, such as paddle wheels and screw propellers. By blending tried and true methods of propulsion with new technology, Fitch created functioning steamboats. He forfeited his place in American memory due not to any mechanical failings, but to financial ones. His production and operating costs were too high to make steam travel economically feasible. As a result, many people have forgotten his role in the invention of the steamboat. It wasn’t until after his death that Robert Fulton created a commercially successful steamboat and became known as “the father of steam navigation.”
