Unlikely. Platypuses need a permanent freshwater source, preferably a slow moving creek or river, in which to hunt for food. They also need to be able to dig deep burrows in riverbanks for shelter. While some deserts do have permanent water supplies, they may not be sufficient to provide for the platypus's food and shelter requirements.
