duckbill
Flat aquatic beak
A duckbill is anything shaped like a duck's broad, flat bill.
The term most often refers to the duckbill platypus, an egg-laying Australian mammal with a bill-shaped snout.
Duckbill also describes tools, medical instruments, or caps with that distinctive flattened shape: a duckbill speculum, a duckbill cap.
