What lives in a swamp with platypuses?
Fishes
Why Do platypuses live in the swamp?
Platypuses do not live in the swamp. Platypuses do not live in water at all. They burrow in riverbanks and creekbanks, above the waterline, so their burrow remains dry. Platypuses need creeks and rivers for hunting in, but they are also found alongside lakes. They prefer clean, slightly running water, preferably not stagnant like that found in swamps, although they do sometimes live in lakes. In addition, swamps, by their very nature, do not have banks that will allow platypuses to dig shelters. Swamps are low-lying wetland areas, with saturated flats that do not allow a platypus to dig and stay dry when it is not hunting for food.
