What does banks mean in The platypus lives along the banks of rivers?
The bank of a river or creek is the earth that lines the edges of a waterway, forming a barrier, or levee, to stop the water from flowing out of the river (except when it "breaks its banks" during a flood). The platypus digs a burrow that may extend up to 30 metres into this levee. The entrance of the burrow is above the waterline, not underwater. This is the platypus's home.
