Laziness is a human attribute, and one sometimes seen in domestic pets. It is not an attribute that can be ascribed to wild animals.

∙ 10y agoWhen young platypuses reach maturity, they leave their mother and find their own territory. Older platypuses may leave their homes if the freshwater creek or river where it dives for food is getting low in water and hence in food. They must then travel overland to a new water source.

Are platypuses' homes wet or dry?
Platypuses' homes are dry. Even though platypuses spend most of their waking hours in the water, hunting for food, they live in dry burrows. These burrows are dug in freshwater riverbanks and creek banks, with the entrance above the waterline. Female platypuses line their burrows with dry leaves so that when they return after hunting for food, the leaves help remove some of the water from their fur. This is to ensure the nesting chamber, where the babies are kept, remains dry.
