No. The platypus is neither herbivorous, nor is it a marsupial. Platypuses are carnivores and predators. They eat small water animals such as aquatic insect larvae, fresh water shrimp, annelid worms, yabbies and crayfish.
They are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. Marsupials give birth to live young.
