Platypuses have never been endangered. Even when they were close to extinction in the early 20th century, they were not classified as endangered, as this was before official conservation measures were in place.
It is not generally known that fossil evidence indicates there were once platypuses in South America, although these creatures had teeth, unlike modern platypuses. It is unknown why platypuses became extinct in South America thousands of years ago.
Platypuses do not need to be in a zoo. They thrive in their native habitat, and they are not endangered. Zoos are not good places for platypuses as it is still rare for platypuses to breed in captivity.
Peacocks and peahens are not endangered.
Not at all as of 2013 platypuses are not on that list.
