Expo Oz

The Queensland Museum has been curating a display on Expo Oz, Expo 88's platypus mascot. As a fursuit that had an important impact on Queensland's identity, I thought I should share it here.

It was co-designed by a Disney animator and, we're told, bears a striking resemblance to Donald Duck.

Same "Disney animator" design as Sam the Eagle from 84 Olympics... same eyes, same hat even!
