No. It is not legal for anyone, in any country, to own a platypus. Special licences are granted for certain zoos and animal sanctuaries in Australia to keep platypuses, but strict regulations must be met to ensure the platypus is kept in a way that completely mimics its natural habitat. Currently, in 2014, no zoos outside of Australia have platypuses.
