Best Answer

The platypus's habitat has been affected by European settlement of Australia, just as the habitats of all Australian animals have been affected. land clearing for agriculture and settlement has resulted in increased water pollution levels, and turbidity. Fewer trees have meant less shelter to cover the entryway to the platypuses' burrows in the banks of creeks and rivers.
