No, they are only in Australia. If any are found elsewhere, it had to have been brought there, and it is presently illegal to take them to other countries. It is unlikely a platypus would survive long in a place like Florida with crocodiles and alligators.

They are found in the tropical and sub-tropical rainforests of the far north down to the warm temperate rainforests in the south of the state, as well as in native bushland and dry sclerophyll woodlands throughout the eastern third of the state.
