Are platypuses endangered by pollution?
Platypuses do not have an official listing of "endangered", so the answer to the question has to be 'no'. However, they are threatened by pollution, as are all members of the animal kingdom in one form or another. Unlike sea animals, platypuses do not ingest plastic bags and floating rubbish, but they are sensitive to chemical changes in the water in which they feed.
