What is a pladapuses habitat?

The platypus is primarily found in freshwater habitats, particularly in rivers, streams, and lakes across eastern Australia, including Tasmania. They prefer areas with plenty of vegetation and a mix of shallow and deep water where they can forage for food. Burrows are typically dug into the banks of these waterways, providing shelter and nesting sites. The platypus thrives in environments that offer a rich supply of insects, crustaceans, and other small aquatic organisms to feed on.
