The dense fur of a platypus is waterproof. It has two layers - an outer, what proof layer and an underlying layer of insulating fur which helps to keep it warm in winter and cool in summer. The fur's very density enhances the platypus's ability to swim discreetly through the water, seeking food whilst barely noticeable.
