Australian semiaquatic mammal (8)

I believe the answer is:

platypus

(Other definitions for platypus that I've seen before include "Australian egg-layer" , "Australian animal with ducklike beak" , "Australian egg-producer" , "One's billed in flat manner" , "Egg-laying mammal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
