EYEBROWS were raised outside the Myer Christmas windows in Melbourne when a platypus appeared to be intimately involved with a wombat.
A malfunction was the cause of the accidental and unfortunate positioning of the two characters in this year's Christmas windows titled Wombat Devine.
But window watchers in attendance did not know about the mistake for some time and many were quite surprised by what they saw.
"I don't know what to think," said a mother of four.
"They look like they are... involved."
Morning radio programs were flooded with upset callers who thought what they had seen in the particular window was in bad taste.
One curious punter posted a rather raunchy video on the internet site youtube.com allegedly of two koalas from the Melbourne window display also involved in a questionable position.
The video depicts one koala bent over with some sort of robe or sheet covering its head with the other koala positioned behind it:
But some people who were getting into the Christmas spirit outside the traditional window scenes weren't at all upset by the scenes.
"It's for kids and they don't think like we (adults) do so I'm sure they wouldn't even notice it," said one woman with her grandchildren.
Technicians from the company Myer employed to create and install the displays were called in quickly and climbed into the window scene to fix the problem.
They explained the platypus was supposed to be rolling the sleeping wombat to try and wake it up, but the coupling that attached its hand to the wombat was loosened by the rocking motion.
