Best Answer

Platypus live alongside (but not "in") in freshwater creeks and rivers. They live in burrows they dig along the banks of the creek or river that they use as a food source.

The entrance is usually disguised by overhang from the riverbank, or by tree roots and/or other vegetation. They are difficult to see, which is precisely what the platypus wants.

Burrows can extend into the soft earth for up to 33 metres (100 feet). The female digs a burrow with a chamber at the end where she lays and incubates her eggs.

A burrow

During breeding season, a female platypus's home is a chamber at the end of a long burrow. This is also the home of the young platypuses for the first few months of their life.
