The latest version shows a platypus splashing around in the water and enjoying a good tickle at Healesville Sanctuary, in Australia.
A YouTube video of the tickling session has become extremely popular, with the infectious happiness of the platypus proving irresistible to viewers.
The mammal is seen flicking its feet in pure joy as it lies in the water having its mid-section stroked.
It then continues to play with the visitor, swimming back and forth and being hand-fed.
A member of Cute Creatures Great And Small, who posted the one-minute clip, said: ‘This beautiful platypus loved playing in the water and loved a tickle!
‘She was so friendly and ate food right out of my hand!’
