Yes. Platypuses spend equal amounts of time on land and in water. Platypuses have four legs which they use to walk. Although they have webbed feet, the webbing is retractable, so it does not impede them from walking when they are on land. They live on land, but they hunt n water, so they are well adapted for life both on land and in water.

A platypus is a semi-aquatic mammal, so it is well equipped for swimming. It has webbed feet on which the webbed membranes can retract so it can use its sharp claws to dig burrows in river banks. A platypus feeds on water creatures, so is adept at swimming and diving. While it cannot breathe underwater, it can hold its breath for an average of 1-2 minutes, making hundreds of dives every day to find enough food to meet its own bodyweight. When lying motionlessly to escape the attention of predators, it can remain underwater for up to eight minutes,
