No. Platypuses live in burrows which they dig at the side of riverbanks, creek banks or edges of lakes and ponds. They are usually dug under an overhang of the bank, or where the entrance can be concealed by logs or vegetation.

During breeding deason, the female platypus also digs an extra chamber at the end of her burrow to incubate her eggs. Platypuses are one of just two types of egg-laying mammals.
