No.

Platypuses are monotremes, i.e. egg-laying mammals. They are semi-aquatic, digging a burrow in a riverbank to live, and feeding on small crustaceans and invertebrates in the water.

Wombats are marsupials. They are terrestrial animals which also dig burrows, but feed on grasses and sedges.

How does a hairy nosed wombat hide or escape from its enemies?

A wombat warns off intruders with an aggressive display of head shaking, gnashing teeth and a guttural growl. The hairy-nosed wombat lives in burrows it digs with its strong claws. Burrows provide wombats with protection from predators, weather and bushfires. A predator following a wombat into its burrow can be crushed against the roof by the wombat's powerful rump. For defence, the wombat literally uses its backside. It has extra tough, thick skin on its lower back. Because a wombat's burrow is only just big enough for the wombat itself to fit into, in the event of a dog or dingo attack, it will turn around and present only that thicker hide to the aggressor, a hide that is difficult for a dingo's teeth to penetrate.
