Platypuses do not have an official listing of "endangered", so the answer to the question has to be 'no'. However, they are threatened by pollution, as are all members of the animal kingdom in one form or another. Unlike sea animals, platypuses do not ingest plastic bags and floating rubbish, but they are sensitive to chemical changes in the water in which they feed.
Platypuses do not bite in the traditional sense, as they have no teeth. However, male platypuses possess venomous spurs on their hind legs that can deliver a painful sting if they feel threatened. While they are generally not aggressive, they may defend themselves if provoked. Overall, interactions with humans are rare, and platypuses are more likely to flee than to attack.
