Does a platypus go to the same location to lay its eggs if so where?
Female platypuses lay their eggs in a burrow. They lay only one set of eggs (one to three eggs) per year in this burrow. They elongate the burrow until it is about 20 meters/66 feet long to lay the eggs in it (it is normally only a few feet long). Does the female platypus lay her eggs in the same burrow every year? Probably not. Platypuses move between burrows very frequently, inhabiting up to three in a single day.
How many platypus are born at once?
