How long has the platypus been threatened to be extinct?

Answer 1

The platypus is not listed as endangered. Platypus do not yet even qualify as threatened, although they are unofficially "vulnerable". Although very delicate creatures, sensitive to ecological changes, pollution and habitat loss, their distribution is still much the same as it was prior to European settlement, apart from in South Australia where they were wiped out last century (like many native species), being hunted for their fur. The platypus is now a completely protected species.

Answer 2

The platypus is not actually threatened, and it is in no current danger of extinction.

The platypus, although found only in the country of Australia (which includes the island state of Tasmania) is notendangered but it is classified as common but vulnerable. It is not listed on the IUCN Redlist (endangered species list).

Answer 3

Of the 16 species of toucan only the Ariel Toucan is endangered. It was so listed in 2014
