Platypus live alongside (but not "in") in freshwater creeks and rivers. They live in burrows they dig along the banks of the creek or river that they use as a food source.

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.
