Yes and no. The 'forest' biome is generally not known as forest in Australia, as the country's native eucalyptus bushland is quite different to what is commonly thought of as forest.
Platypuses live throughout eastern coastal Australia and its island state of Tasmania, particularly within heavily wooded and protected regions. Platypuses live in native eucalyptus bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate rainforests.

∙ 11y agoStrictly speaking, platypuses live in none of the above, but the closest answer would be "forests" - not 'wetlands' as most people would assume.
Platypuses live in native eucalyptus bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and warm temperate to cool temperate rainforests (cool temperate rainforests are those found in Tasmania).
Platypuses live in burrows that they dig on the banks of freshwater creeks, rivers, lakes and dams. The female digs a chamber at the end of a long burrow where she shelters her young. This is why they tend not to live in wetlands, as the wetlands environment does not provide them with steep riverbanks well above the waterline in which to dig their burrows.
