Yes: platypuses are carnivores.
Platypuses eat small crustaceans such as yabbies that live on the bottom of creeks and rivers. They also eat other kinds of small aquatic invertebrates, such as worms, freshwater crayfish, insect larvae, and freshwater shrimps.
every other day
Foxes do not usually eat mature platypuses, but they do prey on juveniles.
The platypus should not be called anything else. It is just a platypus. It is not a duckbilled platypus, or any other such misnomer.
Introduced animals such as red foxes, dogs and feral cats prey on the platypus. Natural predators of the platypus include snakes, water rats, goannas, spotted quolls, eels, hawks, owls and eagles. In the north of its range, dingoes are another predator. Lower platypus numbers in far northern Australia are possibly due to predation by crocodiles. On occasion, large freshwater eels (which may be twice the length of a platypus) have been thought to take platypuses.
Yes there is a platypus silly band i have one. :)
The platypus is completely original. It is not a "mixture" of any other animal.
A platypus has many ways of communicating, but if an animal hits them they have a soft growl like a puppy. They have many ways of hurting their prey; for instance, the females and males have things on their feet.
The hearing frequency of a platypus ranges from about 1 kHz to 3 kHz. They have sensitive hearing adapted for detecting prey, especially in aquatic environments. Unlike many mammals, they are more attuned to lower frequencies, which aids in locating sounds made by their prey underwater.
The platypus is known overseas as the "duckbilled platypus" or just the "duckbill", but in Australia it is just commonly called the 'platypus'.The platypus is sometimes known as the duckbilled platypus, because its bill loosely resembles that of a duck, and is of a shape not found on any other mammal.

No. A platypus is not a placental mammal of any type, but a monotreme, which is an egg-laying mammal.
Neither the male nor the female platypus has any specific name.
