Platypuses are alive and well. They are found living in burrows they dig above freshwater creeks and rivers through eastern Australia. They are not even endangered. Despite their numbers dropping dramatically during the twentieth century due to the fur trade, the platypus population has recovered since protection measures were put in place. There are now believed to be around the same number of platypuses
