How much does a platypus weigh and how long is a platypus and how long does a platypus live?
The platypus is quite a small animal. A male platypus is 50-60 cm in length, whilst the female is smaller, averaging 40-50 cm in length. They are very lightly built creatures, with females weighing as little as 900 grams, and males 1700 grams to 2kg. Platypuses in north Queensland tend to be smaller than their southern counterparts. Some Tasmanian platypus have been known to weigh up to 3 kg. Platypuses in captivity have been recorded as living to at least 16 years. Whilst research has not yet established the life span of a platypus in the wild, it is believed to be about 10 years. It is estimated that, due to predation by goannas and snakes, platypuses in their natural habitat probably live closer to 4-5 years for males and 6-8 years for females.
