How many platypuses are killed?

It is not known how many platypuses are killed each year, but it is not as many as there used to be. Platypuses are no longer hunted for their pelts, and fewer of them are drowned in fishing nets as laws have come into effect to help protect them more. Floodwaters kill platypuses - they are mammals, and must breathe air, and young or weak platypuses can quickly drown in fast-moving floodwaters.

What relationship does man have with a platypus?

Man has a minimal relationship with platypuses. Platypuses are shy animals which avoid contact with humans as much as possible. Humans have had considerable impact on platypuses in the past, such as killing platypuses for their fur, or using fishing nets in rivers which caused entangled platypuses to drown as they could not come to the surface to breathe. However, now the platypus is a protected native species. They are elusive creatures, rarely even studied by scientists, as research can be too intrusive in their environment.
