Platypuses and seals are both semi-aquatic mammals that find their food in water, but this is about where the similarities end. Platypuses lay eggs and seals give live birth; platypuses require fresh water and seals are marine mammals; platypuses use electroreceptors in their bills to find invertebrates on which they feed, while seals primarily eat fish.
