A platypus's burrow is a dry burrow dug into a riverbank or creek bank. The entrance is usually disguised by overhang from the riverbank, or by tree roots and/or other vegetation. They are difficult to see, which is precisely what the platypus wants.
Burrows can extend into the soft earth for up to 33 metres (100 feet). The female digs a burrow with a chamber at the end where she lays and incubates her eggs.

The duck-billed platypus. However, it must be said that the platypus is not actually called a duck-billed platypus at all. Some may consider that the platypus has a bill like a duck, but the term "duck-billed platypus" is a complete misnomer. Its bill does not look like a duck's bill, being flatter and much broader, and made of a totally different substance; nor does it serve the same function as a duck's bill, having very unique properties such as electroreception.
