Where in the world is a platypus located?

Answer 1

Platypuses are native to Australia alone.
Platypuses live throughout eastern coastal Australia and its island state of Tasmania, particularly within heavily wooded and protected regions. They are found from the cooler sub-alpine areas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland. Platypuses live in bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate rainforests.

Platypuses are most commonly found around freshwater creeks and rivers in these bushland and rainforest areas of eastern Australia.
