A female platypus lays her eggs in a dry chamber at the end of a long burrow which has been dug into the bank of a freshwater creek or river. The entrance to the burrow is above the waterline so that the burrow and nesting chamber both remain dry, and the burrow may extend up to 30 metres into the bank. The chamber at the end is just big enough for the female to curl around her eggs to incubate them for the necessary ten days. She will often create plugs of earth along the length of the burrow to prevent snakes entering the chamber. She also lines sections of the burrow with dry leaves to capture the water from her fur so she does not make the nesting chamber wet.
