How does a platypus get away from its prey?

It swims underwater with its eyes closed and detects its prey with its very sensitive bill, which also can detect electrical impulses, similar to the snout of a shark.

It dives down to the bottom of a lake, river, or stream, and wiggles its bill in the sand. The electro receptors in its bill senses its prey. The Platypus grabsits prey and stores it in cheek pouches until it reaches the surface, and then it moves the food forward and grinds it up with its grinding pads.
