The platypus is not endangered. There was a time when it was under threat, being particularly prized for its fur years ago. The Australian Government lists the platypus as "common but vulnerable". The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the platypus as "least concern". Platypuses are now strictly protected by law.
The platypus is vulnerable because of habitat loss through deforestation, dams and irrigation projects. They have disappeared from South Australia. Tasmanian platypuses are subject to a disease caused by the fungus Mucor amphibiorum, which has fortunately not migrated to the mainland. Affected animals often develop skin lesions or ulcers, and the biggest threat to their survival arises from secondary infection. This can affect the platypus's ability to maintain body temperature and to hunt properly for food on the bottom of rivers and creeks.
It is not generally known that fossil evidence indicates there were once platypuses in South America, although these creatures had teeth, unlike modern platypuses. It is unknown why platypuses became extinct in South America thousands of years ago.
a disadvantage is that there will be more platypuses and the advantage is that they will not be extinct.
