Why is a platypus half duck half beaver?

A long time ago, during the dreamtime, in the forest, not all the animals were friends. An example is the beaver and the duck. The beaver hated the duck and the duck hated the beavers. One day, the other animals were fed up with their war and tried to find a witch.
They wanted to turn the beaver into an animal which is half beaver half duck. To do this, the witch needed a hair of the two animals to bewitch them.
Two days later, there was a strange animal with a flat tail like a beaver and a beak like a duck in the forest.
This animal still exists today and is called the platypus.
