There was a time when the platypus was under threat, being particularly prized for its fur years ago. In the past it came closer to extinction but it now has protection by law in the National Parks and Wildlife Act of 1974 (from hunters and fishermen), and the population has grown back to a healthy size.
The platypus is not on the endangered list. The Australian Government lists the platypus as "common but vulnerable". The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the platypus as "least concern". Platypuses are now strictly protected by law.
There is only one type of platypus, ornithorhynchus anatinus, and it is not endangered. The platypus is natve to Australia, and the Australian Government lists the platypus as "common but vulnerable". The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists the platypus as "least concern".
The platypus is not indigenous to Louisiana, so it would naturally not be endangered there. In fact, the platypus is not endangered anywhere in the world. The Australian Government lists the platypus as "common but vulnerable". The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the platypus as "least concern".

Whilst the platypus is not actually endangered, it should still be preserved. There is no other animal like them on Earth.
Platypuses are neither endangered nor threatened. The platypus which lives in the Daintree rainforest is exactly the same as the platypus of New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, as there is only one species of platypus.The Australian Government lists the platypus as "common but vulnerable". The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the platypus as "least concern".
The platypus is not endangered. The Australian Government lists the platypus as "common but vulnerable". The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the platypus as "least concern". Platypuses are now strictly protected by law
Officially, no, but in reality, yes. There was a time when the platypus was under threat, being particularly prized for its fur years ago. In the past it came close to extinction, but at this time there were no official levels of conservation status, meaning the platypus was never officially endangered. The platypus has certainly recovered. It is protected by law as a result of the National Parks and Wildlife Act of 1974, and the population has grown back to the point where it is believed to be about the same as it was prior to European settlement.
Not yet. There was a time when the platypus was under threat, being particularly prized for its fur years ago. The Australian Government currently lists the platypus as "common but vulnerable".
The platypus is considered to be endangered due to habitat destruction, pollution of waterways, and prey depletion. Climate change and drought are also contributing factors to their declining population numbers. Protection and conservation efforts are important to help ensure the survival of the platypus.
The platypus, although found only in the country of Australia (which includes the island state of Tasmania) is not endangered. It is not listed on the IUCN Redlist (endangered species list). The Australian Government lists the platypus as "common but vulnerable". The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the platypus as "least concern". Platypuses are now strictly protected by law. The platypus is vulnerable because of habitat loss through deforestation, dams and irrigation projects.
It is possible that, sometime in the future, platypuses may be endangered. However, it is most unlikely to happen anytime soon. The platypus has quite a secure future. Although vulnerable to habitat loss and changes brought about by human interference, the platypus has enjoyed a resurgence in its population since becoming a protected animal. There are estimated to be as many platypuses now as there were when European settlement started.
