What is the platypus's mating season?

Answer 1

During mating season, a male platypus chooses his mate by grabbing the tail of a female in his bill. If the female is satisfied with this partner, she will then take his tail in her bill.

Platypuses reproduce via sexual reproduction. They mate in the water.

Platypuses reproduce by laying eggs, which hatch into young platypuses that initially feed off mothers' milk. The platypus is a monotreme, or egg-laying mammal, just like the echidna, and quite unique to Australia. Platypuses lay eggs in a chamber at the end of a burrow dug into a riverbank or next to a creek.

Their young, once hatched, drink milk from glands on the mother's abdomen, rather than attaching to teats.
