What type of weather is there in a Platypus's environment?

Answer 1

Platypuses live throughout eastern coastal Australia and its island state of Tasmania, particularly within heavily wooded and protected regions. They are found from the cooler sub-alpineareas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland. Platypuses live in bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate rain forests.

Answer 2

There is some variety in the weather within a platypus's environment. Platypuses are found from the cooler sub-alpine areas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland. They can survive extremes of heat that occur in Victorian summers as well as the cold winters. They can survive long periods of dry weather, such as droughts in Victoria, as long as their creek or river does not run dry, and they can survive areas of heavy rainfall, as in north Queensland. Platypuses live in bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate rainforests.

Answer 3

A platypus's winter environment is the same as its summer environment. It digs a burrow in the banks of a freshwater creek or river, and dives in the water to hunt for food. Such waterways may be found in bushland or rainforest.

Answer 4

Platypuses can live in temperatures that drop to below 0 degrees Celsius in Tasmania in winter, or reach in excess of 35 degrees Celsius during summer. They are found from the cooler sub-alpine areas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland.
