"Platypus Problems" is the first half of the Eleventh episode in the first season of Stanley.
Synopsis[]
It's Animal Awareness Day at School and all the children are allowed to choose an animal costume with which they should come to school the next day. Stanley has a hard time figuring out the animal he's supposed to be. He only gets a long beak, flippers and a big, flat tail as a costume. Of course he pulls The Great Big Book of Everything and it turns out that he has to disguise himself as a platypus, which occurs only in rivers and lakes in Australia and has extremely interesting properties.
