because they have inner organs that keep them alive and they reproduce and they have a heart the organ heart not the valentine heart.
or were you asking how there ever lived to be such an odd creature??
this is the answer to that:
Australia parted from the other continents a while before the other continents parted
the animals on Australia at that time to now had more time to evolve differently than the animals of the rest of the world. Strange animals such as the platypus, and the Tasmanian devil. I hope this helped
Are PLATYPUSES born alive?
Platypuses are hatched from eggs. They are one of just two species of egg-laying mammals.
No. Platypuses and spiny anteaters, more correctly known as echidnas, are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. The young are hatched, not born.
Platypuses are alive and well. They are found living in burrows they dig above freshwater creeks and rivers through eastern Australia. They are not even endangered. Despite their numbers dropping dramatically during the twentieth century due to the fur trade, the platypus population has recovered since protection measures were put in place. There are now believed to be around the same number of platypuses
Probably very little. Platypuses are still alive and well, so fossils are of little value.
No. America does not have platypuses. Platypuses are endemic to eastern Australia.
Platypuses is the correct spelling.
Platypuses were not invented. They were discovered by someone.
Platypuses are found only in Australia.
Platypuses are considered carnivores.
Platypuses are nocturnal. They come out at night.
No. By nature, platypuses are solitary animals.
