Would a Platypus be good for a zoo?
No: platypuses are not a good choice for the zoo. Platypuses need a specialised environment, and there are heavy restrictions on zoos keeping them, along with strict regulations which must be adhered to by any zoo or animal sanctuary. Also, few platypuses breed in captivity. All these are reasons why platypuses are not a good choice for a zoo.
