No.

Laziness is a human attribute, and one sometimes seen in domestic pets. It is not an attribute that can be ascribed to wild animals.

In addition, platypuses spend most of their waking hours diving and swimming, searching for food, as they must eat the equivalent of their own body weight daily.

Adult platypuses do not stay with their young after they are born. Female platypuses care for their eggs by incubating them in a burrow and nursing the hatchlings for a short period.

Are platypuses' homes wet or dry?

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.
