When a baby platypus is hatched, it does have tiny, rudimentary teeth which fall out within a few weeks. These teeth are believed to be a throwback to the platypus's ancestors, as fossilised platypus teeth have been found.

Adult platypuses do not have teeth. Teeth are not necessary for platypuses, as they "chew" their food by grinding it between horny plates on their upper and lower jaws.
