duckbills
Platypus facial features
Duckbills are animals with broad, flat snouts resembling a duck's bill.
The term most often refers to the platypus, the egg-laying mammal native to Australia, or to hadrosaurs—the duck-billed dinosaurs of the Cretaceous period.
Duckbill can also describe tools or implements with a flattened, bill-shaped end: duckbill pliers, duckbill forceps.
