Platypuses' homes are dry. Even though platypuses spend most of their waking hours in the water, hunting for food, they live in dry burrows. These burrows are dug in freshwater riverbanks and creek banks, with the entrance above the waterline.
Female platypuses line their burrows with dry leaves so that when they return after hunting for food, the leaves help remove some of the water from their fur. This is to ensure the nesting chamber, where the babies are kept, remains dry.

What kind of homes do platypuses have?

Can platypuses leave their homes often?

Do platypuses live in bogs?
No. Platypuses are native to Australia, and there are no "jungles" in Australia. Platypuses live in burrows alongside creeks and rivers in eastern Australia, including its island state of Tasmania. Thus, their habitat varies. They can be found in tropical rainforests and cool temperate rainforests; they are also found in eucalyptus bushland, both wet sclerophyll and dry sclerophyll.
