What is causing the platypus to become extinct?
Nothing is causing the platypus to become extinct. Platypus numbers in the wild are much the same as they were prior to European habitation of the Australian continent. However, platypuses were in danger of extinction in the early twentieth century due to hunting for their fur and pelts, but since becoming a protected species, numbers have increased (except in South Australia). Platypus were also in danger from fish-netting, as they became entangled in the nets and died, but this is also less of a problem in modern times.
