There are no platypuses in Tasmania, so this Thylacine swam the straits to New South Wales. I seem to recall that the thylacine did occur in mainland Australia perhaps in the Pleistocene.
Plus that is one hell of a big platypus — on first viewing I thought it was a muzzled dog without ears.
Actually, platypus do occur in Tasmania. You’re right on your second point, though. Platypus are much smaller than you think and certainly much smaller than the stuffed Thylacines I’ve seen.
