It is possible that, sometime in the future, platypuses may be endangered. However, it is most unlikely to happen anytime soon. The platypus has quite a secure future. Although vulnerable to habitat loss and changes brought about by human interference, the platypus has enjoyed a resurgence in its population since becoming a protected animal. There are estimated to be as many platypuses now as there were when European settlement started.
