    Platypus Wasp (Anatis vesparum); Native to - Europa (Ice Moon of Jupiter). Above ground dwelling species, makes its home within the ice bores of the surface; However it is speculated, due to the webbed feet and large lungs, that the adapted duck-like bill is used to burrow deep below the thick crusted surface - A process which takes many years, creating water tunnels which it keeps thawed with a mixed secretion it sprays into the ice/water tunnel from glands near its rear during the process. Though this has never been documented and proven true.
