No. Platypuses are nothing like beavers, and they do not build dams. Platypuses do not have teeth, so would be unable to gnaw wood to build dams. Their grinding plates are purely for grinding their food.
For shelter, platypuses dig burrows in the banks of the freshwater creeks, rivers or lakes where they do their hunting. These burrows can be over 30m in length (100 feet). The entrances are disguised beneath overhangs, or by tree roots and other vegetation. Platypuses have webbed feet with retractable webbing which enables them to dig their burrows.
