Young platypuses do leave their homes. They do not remain as a family group once they reach maturity.

Older platypuses may leave their homes if their hunting grounds (freshwater creeks and rivers) are beginning to get low on food, and move on to new areas.

Are platypuses' homes wet or dry?

Platypuses' homes are dry. Even though platypuses spend most of their waking hours in the water, hunting for food, they live in dry burrows. These burrows are dug in freshwater riverbanks and creek banks, with the entrance above the waterline. Female platypuses line their burrows with dry leaves so that when they return after hunting for food, the leaves help remove some of the water from their fur. This is to ensure the nesting chamber, where the babies are kept, remains dry.
