The platypus does not actively employ camouflage, but its natural colouring allows it to blend in with its surroundings. It is brown in colour, with more yellowish fur on its underbelly. It naturally camouflages in with the colour of the water in which it swims and the bushland around its riverbank burrow, but it is unable to change its colour to match its surroundings.
