Platypuses will quite conceivably survive perfectly well in the 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.

What weather do platypuses live in?
Platypuses are found in a variety of temperatures, weather types and climates, from the cooler sub-alpine areas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland. They can survive extremes of heat that occur in Victorian summers as well as the cold winters. They can survive long periods of dry weather, such as droughts in Victoria, as long as their creek or river does not run dry, and they can survive areas of heavy rainfall, as in north Queensland. Platypuses live in bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate rainforests.

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.

Why do platypuses live in creek banks and river banks?
Platypuses live in creek banks and river banks because they are semi-aquatic mammals which breathe air, but which need to hunt in water in order to survive. Their food sources - insect larvae, crustaceans and annelid worms - lie at the bottom of creeks and rivers, and platypuses must make hundreds of dives daily in order to find enough food to survive. Therefore, it is best if they dig burrows, where they are safe from predators, with easy access to the water.
