One of the reasons why platypuses are found only in Australia is likely to be because of the lack of predators in Australia. Introduced predators such as foxes and environmental changes brought by Man have caused more damage to the platypus population than the few native predators. With the exception of Antarctica, which remains largely uninhabitable, Australia was the last continent to be settled by Europeans, so the platypus has been able to thrive here.
