The platypus identifies its natural surroundings by using its senses of sight and hearing much as most other mammals do. Its sense of electroreception is used only for finding food, and can be used only to detect the electrical impulses made by tiny invertebrates such as yabbies, insect larvae and annelid worms.

Do platypuses have camouflage?

The platypus does not actively employ camouflage, but its natural colouring allows it to blend in with its surroundings. It is brown in colour, with more yellowish fur on its underbelly. It naturally camouflages in with the colour of the water in which it swims and the bushland around its riverbank burrow, but it is unable to change its colour to match its surroundings.
