Not really. Platypuses are essentially solitary animals, living and swimming alone. Young platypuses swim with their mothers while they are learning to hunt, but this is only for a few months. In addition, the territory of several platypuses along a riverbank will overlap, so a few platypuses may interact with each other while swimming.
