During winter, platypuses do exactly the same as they do during summer. They continue to hunt for food during the night, diving in creeks and rivers to find their food. During the day, they sleep in their burrows dug into the riverbank. The temperature in their habitat does not change significantly during winter, as water temperatures and ground temperatures do not change as much as the air temperature changes. Platypuses also have a double layer of insulating fur to help keep them warm and dry at their skin level.
