The platypus is nocturnal, spending most of its time foraging for food at night. It spends between 10 and 12 hours a day in the water, and most of this is done at night time. Platypuses tend to come out in e late afternoon, but they can still be seen feeding in the early morning.

What is a quoll's behavior?

Quolls are carnivorous marsupials, so they are hunters. They are nocturnal, so they are most active at night, but they are crepuscular, meaning that they tend to feed at dawn and dusk. They are solitary animals, and partially arboreal, meaning they spend much of their time in trees. An interesting behaviour of quolls is how they have a shared toilet site. Though solitary, they share latrine sites in open spaces such as rock ledges and clearings, for marking their territory.
