Platypuses dig a burrow in the bank of a freshwater creek or burrow, above the waterline, in order to remain dry. During breeding season, the mother platypus prepares a chamber at the end of a burrow especially for the purpose of protecting the eggs and the young. Whenever she leaves the burrow, the mother platypus makes several thin plugs made of soil along the length of burrow; this helps to protect the young from predators which would enter the burrow during the mother's absence. When she returns, she pushes past these plugs, thereby forcing water from her fur and helping to keep the chamber dry.
