A platypus spends most of its time finding food. The platypus has to eat the equivalent of its own weight daily, and its weight averages from 800 grams (for females) to around 2kg for males. This means the platypus has to find anough yabbies, crustaceans, insect larvae and other tiny creatures to meet this weight every day.
