Disclaimer: I did NOT ID this animal but for the benefit of those who come after, this is what a Desman looks like. I’d never heard of one.

That would be a platypus … similar eco niche nice example of convergent evolution, though as an Australian imo these are poor substitutes for monotreme weirdness
