A Papua could only survive in the desert if there was a permanent water source there, and a suitable muddy riverbank in which to dig its burrow. Being nocturnal, their shelter would be adequate protection during the hot days. Platypuses need to hunt for their food in freshwater creeks and rivers. Without a readily available food source, the platypus would die.

How does the duck billed platypus survive in the desert with little water?

There are two major misconceptions in this question.1. The platypus is not called the "duck-billed platypus".2. The platypus does not live in the desert.Platypuses live throughout eastern coastal Australia and its island state of Tasmania, particularly within heavily wooded and protected regions. They are found from the cooler sub-alpine areas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland. Platypuses live in bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate rainforests.They do not, and cannot, live in the desert.
