The difference is that there are still 3 species of bears missing in the game. The sloth bear, American black bear and the spectacled bear. They are all own species like a lion compared to a Leopard. This is different to the different Leopard which are all subspecies. In the rules it is also said that subspecies get their own place in the list when there is already another subspecies of it in the game which is the case for the brown bear as an example

There's another Animal that I really want but don't have any Space left

Platypus are actually kept in a lot of australian zoos, and also in SDZ, with plabs to expand to more zoos worldwide.
What does this Abbreviation stand for?
Platypus are very uncommon in zoos. Also, I don't think there's as much information on them as with let's say, Tasmanian devils, therefore the game developers wouldn't be able to accurately recreate their behaviour or care requirements in-game. They would be cool to have, but again, this game is about being semi-realistic. Like, we won't be getting pygmy three-toed sloths since they're critically endangered and aren't kept in zoos, even though I'd love to create an "island" habitat in my zoo for them.
Three-toed sloths would be cool to have since the males have unique "designs" on their scent patches, and they could implement that fact ingame so we can tell the males apart.
I tried to pick animals that aren't similar to ones already in the game, are from countries that are poorly represented in the game, fill niches/biomes that aren't well represented in the game yet, and can be kept with animals already in the game. Like, it'd be cool to get that species of mongoose that grooms warthogs. The warthogs are kind of boring in the game, but having that interaction between the two species would be cool.

Of the 3 main zoos in Melbourne, 2 have platypus. Not sure of zoos in other cities.
But they don't seem to breed on a regular base, actually there very only very few breeding success in all history, most animals seem to be born in the wild and found brought in as rescued orphans.
On the other hand, small beaked echidnas are also rarely breed, but there seem to be a lot more reports on them.
The three-towed sloth would be an other inclusion I would consider critical, I think there's just one outside of Latin America (at the Dallas World Aquarium) and even here they are rarely found, their diet is very special, so most of the Bradypus we have in captivity are also orphans. So, eighter Hoffmann's or Linnaeu's two-toed sloth would be way better options.
To be fair, koalas, pandas, giant anteaters, and red pandas all have highly specialized diets as well.
