In orders to escape danger, platypuses dig burrows into riverbanks. These burrows are only large enough for smaller predators to enter, but they do not provide protection from snakes. So, for extra protection during breeding season, a female platypus will create numerous earthen "plugs" along the length of the burrow, to deter snakes.
If a platypus is out swimming when danger threatens, it can remain motionless underwater, without breathing, for up to eight minutes. In this position it is camouflaged and unlikely to be noticed by predators.

What is different about the way echidna and platypus react when being threatned by a predator?
When threatened by a predator, echidnas typically curl into a tight ball, using their spines for protection, while platypuses often dive underwater to evade danger. Echidnas rely on their physical defenses and camouflage, whereas platypuses use their agility and swimming ability to escape. This difference highlights their unique adaptations to their respective environments.
What platypuses do when resting underwater?
Platypuses do not "rest" underwater. Like all mammals, they are air-breathing creatures. They may remain motionless, holding their breath for several minutes, if danger threatens. Platypuses shelter and rest in burrows they dig above the waterline of creeks and rivers.
