Do platypuses play with their young?

Platypuses are not particularly playful, and they do not play with their young. Females are excellent mothers, and they nurture their young carefully, doing what they can to protect them. They must leave the young in a chamber at the end of a burrow when they go out hunting for food in the creeks and rivers alongside of which they live. They teach their young to dive and hunt for food, but they do not play with them.
