The platypus is fast in water due to its streamlined body and webbed feet, which act like paddles, allowing for efficient movement. Its strong muscles provide powerful propulsion, while its flexible tail aids in steering. Additionally, its ability to close its eyes, ears, and nostrils while submerged reduces drag and enhances its swimming speed. These adaptations make the platypus a proficient swimmer in its aquatic habitat.
