The
digestive tract is relatively short in a platypus. A female of 440mm long
has a digestive tract 1,400 mm long. The platypus has a thin walled, small
stomach. Nothing is known about the platypus' digestive process because
the food is so finely ground. This makes it is hard to examine after reaching
the digestive tract. Therefore the analysis of food is taken in the cheek
pouches.
