It is illegal to kill platypuses. One of the biggest threats to platypuses used to be the use of fishing nets in freshwater rivers and creeks, as the platypuses would become entangled in the nets and drown. Using such fishing nets has been outlawed.

How have humans affected platypuses?

Humans have affected platypuses in a number of ways. They have introduced red foxes, which is believed to have had some impact on platypus numbers on the mainland, though not yet in Tasmania. Feral cats, another platypus predator, were also introduced by humans. Humans used to hunt platypuses for their fur (they are now protected). There is danger from destruction of the platypus's habitat and environment due to land-clearing and road-building. The use by humans of fishing nets in freshwater creeks and rivers resulted in large numbers of platypuses being drowned. This practice has now been banned
