It is not a matter of "who": the question should read "What eats the platypus".
There are not many animals in the wild that eat platypuses, because platypuses are elusive creatures that hunt underwater and live in hidden shelters, from tropical north regions to the sub-alpine areas of southern Australia.
Red foxes prey on younger platypuses, and feral cats are another platypus predator.
Natural predators of the platypus include snakes, water rats, goannas, spotted quolls, eels, hawks, owls and eagles. In the north of its range, dingoes are another predator. Lower platypus numbers in far northern Australia are possibly due to predation by crocodiles. On occasion, large freshwater eels (which may be twice the length of a platypus) have been thought to eat platypuses.

No. The platypus does not eat plants. Platypuses are carnivores. They are predators; they eat small water animals such as aquatic insect larvae of caddisflies, mayflies and two-winged flies, fresh water shrimp, annelid worms, yabbies and crayfish. Sometimes, some aquatic plants are accidentally ingested with the invertebrates collected by the platypus. These do not constitute part of the platypus's diet.
