Platypuses do not live in water. They live in dry burrows dug into riverbanks. These burrows are often dozens of metres long.
Platypuses live near creeks and rivers because they feed on the small crustaceans, annelid worms and other tiny freshwater creatures that live at the bottom of these creeks and rivers.
