No; but the platypus does dive into water.
Nothing. There are no river rats in Australia.
The Platypus lives in the Yarra River.
The playtpus swam in the river.

Any river, if you jump into it! :P
Yes, but the platypus does not actually live IN the river. Platypuses live in burrows that they dig on the banks of freshwater creeks, rivers and lakes. They do not live in the water, but they need the water in which to hunt for their food, which consists of tiny crustaceans and other invertebrates that live on the river bed or lake bed.
The platypus's nesting chamber is a dry chamber at the end of a long burrow dug into the bank of a freshwater creek or river. It is simply an earthen chamber, lined with leaves and grass which the female platypus brings in by carrying it with her tail. It is just large enough to house the female platypus and her eggs.
Only if it's a very small river.
The bank of a river or creek is the earth that lines the edges of a waterway, forming a barrier, or levee, to stop the water from flowing out of the river (except when it "breaks its banks" during a flood). The platypus digs a burrow that may extend up to 30 metres into this levee. The entrance of the burrow is above the waterline, not underwater. This is the platypus's home.
Sometimes, during drought seasons, the water level in a platypus's river or creek will get too low to sustain enough food for the platypus to survive. When this happens, the platypus must move to a new waterway. Platypuses do not move quickly over land, and they can become dehydrated, dying before they reach a new creek or river. Some do survive the move.
