Modeling Clay Animal




This is the Dutle. It was part duck, dog, and turtle with a pig's curly tail. It has a hard shell like a turtle and a duck's bill but it is part mammal. This creature is carnivorous and eats fish and small rodents. It can roam on land and swim in water. It is from the rural southern marshes of Louisiana. It has rarely ever been seen. It's hard shell helps to protect it from predators like the Louisiana alligator. It lays eggs like the turtle but nurses it's babies like a mammal. The duck's bill helps to catch fish while the teeth help to eat small rodents.
