No. Platypuses lay their eggs in a chamber at the end of a burrow they dig in a riverbank.
They do not lay their eggs in the water itself, or in a nest. The burrows can be up to 30 metres long, and the entrance is positioned around 30 cm above the waterline. The chamber is lined with dry vegetation, and the females also builds several earthen plugs along the lens of the tunnel to deter predators..
